Description

Bluebunch Wheatgrass is a versatile grass species that can thrive in a wide range of soil types, from fine to coarse textures and from shallow to deep soils, including gravelly and rocky terrains. It is a long-lived, drought-tolerant, highly palatable and cool-season variable bunchgrass.
