Hachita Blue Grama Grass Plugs

Bouteloua gracilis ‘Hachita’ (Blue Grama Grass) is the most vigorous selection of this beautiful native grass from the western Great Plains. Quite drought-resistant (xeric), it is easy to establish, excellent for erosion control and thrives in both sandy soils and clay!

Beloved for its “eyelash” seed heads, it can also be mowed once a month to create a soft, inviting lawn. ‘Hachita’ Blue Grama Grass grows in distinct bunches in warmer areas. In northern states, it forms more of a sod.

‘Hachita’ Blue Grama Grass is a warm season grower and prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It does not do well in shade, in areas with a high water table or with acidic soils.

‘Hachita’ Grass can be used in ornamental plantings singularly or in groups. You can also interplant plugs with wildflowers to grow a colorful, low-care short grass prairie. 4″ tall (15″ with seed heads).

For a turf type lawn, plant plugs 6″ apart. 70 jumbo plugs per flat. A flat covers 17.5 sq. ft. See Lawn Replacement Instructions for more information. A detailed planting and maintenance instruction sheet is provided with each order. (Also available for order as seed.)

Please note: Our grass plugs ship separately from perennials and seed products. Orders for grass plugs get processed early Monday mornings for shipment that same week.
