Bouteloua curtipendula

Also known as Sideoats Grama, Banderilla, Banderita, Navajita

Bouteloua curtipendula, often referred to as side oats grama, is a native grass from Texas that is recognized for its unique oat-like seed spikes, which dangle gracefully from one side of its flowering stems. You can usually find it flourishing in meadows, prairies, open rocky woodlands, and even along railroad tracks throughout much of the state. The narrow, bluish-gray leaf blades, about 1/4" wide, create a lovely, dense clump that grows to heights of 1 to 1.5 feet. 

 

As autumn rolls in, the foliage beautifully transforms into shades of golden brown, occasionally showcasing stunning hints of orange and red. During early to mid-summer, delightful inflorescences with purplish-tinged flowers rise elegantly on arching stems above the leaves, often elevating the total height of the clump to an impressive 3 feet. As the seeds mature, these captivating inflorescences gradually fade to tan, adding to the landscape's charm.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.

When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.

Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.

5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping. 

Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.

Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
