Blonde Ambition Gramma Grass

Key Features:
Size & Growth: Blonde Ambition™ Grama Grass typically grows to a height of 18 to 24 inches with a spread of 18 to 24 inches. Its compact, clumping growth habit makes it suitable for both small and large garden spaces.
Foliage: Features fine, narrow, blue-green blades that provide a delicate and airy texture. The foliage forms a dense clump, adding a subtle yet impactful element to the garden.
Flowers: Produces striking, blonde-colored seed heads that emerge in mid-summer and persist into fall. The seed heads are delicate, airy, and add a soft, golden hue to the garden. They create a visually interesting contrast against the blue-green foliage and catch the light beautifully.
Blooming Time: Blooms from mid-summer to fall, typically from July to October. The extended period of interest ensures that your garden remains vibrant and dynamic throughout the growing season.
Disease Resistance: Known for its resistance to common pests and diseases affecting ornamental grasses. Its hardy nature makes it a reliable choice for various climates and garden conditions.
Soil & Light Requirements: Prefers well-drained soil and thrives in full sun. It is adaptable to a range of soil types, including sandy, loamy, and clay soils. Providing ample sunlight and ensuring good drainage are key for optimal growth and health.
Care Instructions: Requires minimal maintenance once established. Regular watering during dry periods helps keep the plant hydrated, but it is relatively drought-tolerant once established. Applying mulch around the base of the plant can help retain soil moisture and reduce competition from weeds. In late fall or early spring, cut back the plant to remove dead foliage and encourage fresh new growth.
Uses:
Ornamental: Ideal for adding unique texture and color to garden beds, borders, and containers. The Blonde Ambition™ Grama Grass provides a contemporary and sophisticated look that complements various garden styles.
Prairie Garden: Perfect for prairie and naturalized gardens, where its distinctive seed heads and fine-textured foliage can be showcased.
Container Gardening: Suitable for containers and patio gardens, where its compact size and attractive appearance can enhance outdoor spaces.
Planting & Maintenance:
Planting: Choose a location with well-drained soil and full sun exposure. Dig a hole that is twice the width of the root ball and place the plant at the same depth it was growing in the container. Space multiple plants about 18 to 24 inches apart to accommodate their mature spread.
Watering: Water thoroughly after planting and during dry periods to establish the plant. Once established, it requires less frequent watering. Ensure good drainage to avoid waterlogging.
Pruning: Prune in late fall or early spring to remove dead foliage and seed heads. This helps maintain the plant’s appearance and encourages healthy new growth.
Add the refined elegance and distinctive beauty of Blonde Ambition™ Grama Grass to your garden. Its unique blonde seed heads, fine-textured foliage, and low-maintenance care make it a valuable and stylish addition to any landscape design.
