Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition'
Choose Blonde Ambition Blue Grama Grass if you want a dry-site grass with unusual horizontal seed heads and winter structure. The tradeoff: it is not a fast screen or lush filler for damp, shady beds.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The horizontal seed heads give it a distinct look without needing big size. |
| Growth Rate | B- | It settles in steadily, but it is not the grass to choose for instant mass. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Once established in the right site, it mainly needs a seasonal cutback. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its fine texture works well in smaller beds where taller grasses feel too heavy. |
| Screening Value | D | This is a texture grass, not a privacy plant. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend it for sunny, lean plantings where customers want texture without a bulky grass. Give it room to show its seed heads, and do not use it where you need quick privacy.

Yes, the blond seed heads are a main reason to plant it.
No, choose a sedge like Fox Sedge for wetter ground.
Several usually read better, especially in meadow-style borders.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
