| Description | A common component of shortgrass prairie, this species is similar to Blue Grama but often found on drier, better-draining soil types. A great plant to mix with other grasses, wildflowers, and shrubs. This plant is a good alternative to Blue Grama for hotter locations or at lower elevations. |
