Bouteloua curtipendula - Sideoats Grass
.
Common name: Sideoats Grass
Family: Poaceae (Grass Family)
Distribution: North America, South America
Hardiness: 4a
Life form: Perennial plant
Comments: This grass is native to most of North America, and is able to thrive in the driest garden situations you can think of. Sideoats grama grows to a very manageable height of two to three feet and stays in tidy clumps. Because of its small, neat dimensions, it’s easy to interplant among nearly any perennial flowers in your garden to add a soft cloud of texture. Its airy inflorescence appears in mid-summer. The younger flowers have a tinge of purple with little bits of orange. The individual flowers dangle all on one side of the stem.
