Blue Grama
Bouteloua gracilis
Blue Grama is a commonly found, warm-season, perennial grass. It is likely the most widespread North American grass, growing on a variety of dry and/or warm upland sites from Mexico to Canada. Blue Grama exhibits a variable growth form in the southern states it grows normally as a bunch grass, but in the northern states and in the mountains, or in areas under heavy grazing pressure, it is a sod former. Narrow, bluish-gray leaf fine blades form a dense clump growing 12 to 15 inches tall. It also has an attractive, unique seed head that resembles a brush or eyelash. It is a popular turf grass, widely used for pasture and range, and erosion control. Low maintenance and drought-resistance qualities are what make it so popular. State grass of Colorado and New Mexico.
