At Nature Hills, we are big fans of native and ornamental grasses in the landscape! They add rich texture, fun movement and grand style wherever they are planted. There are hundreds of grass options to choose from, but it seems that you only see a handful when you drive around your neighborhood. It's time for something new! Something to excite the garden. Something to shock the neighbors. It's time for Blonde Ambition Blue Gamma Grass (Bouteloua gracilis 'Blonde Ambition')! The flowers are held horizontally above the leaves in an eyebrow or mustache fashion, unlike any other ornamental grass on the market today! They bobble and wave in the breeze for motion and textural interest. Blonde Ambition is a bigger version of our native Blue Gamma Grass. The base of this beautiful grass is blue-green upright foliage. In mid-summer 3-foot tall spikes of showy chartreuse-colored flowers rise up on stiff stems that hold up through all kinds of weather. This includes heavy snow, which means that you have 6-8 months of garden texture and color from these great plants. By late summer to autumn, the curious flower heads fade to tan for the remainder of the year. Planting and Application: This is an extremely cold hardy grass and grows in almost any soil. Blonde Ambition is native to 26 states and performs well almost everywhere else, so we're sure that it will fit into your garden. Use as an eye-catching specimen plant because of the unique blooms, or as accents interspersed among other native grasses, perennials and wildflowers for a lovely informal display. Try planting with the equally unique Sideoats Grama and Northern Sea Oats grasses for an incredibly unique show!

Plant in a very well-drained site with moderate, consistent moisture while establishing, but afterward these are drought tolerant perennial grasses! Warm-season grasses may green up later in the spring, but really shine once the hot, dry summer weather kicks in!

In colder Zone 5 or in high humidity climates, it can handle more direct morning sun with afternoon shade. If you live in a drier climate or in Zones 8, 9 and 10, you should plant in full shade. Mulch the root zone 3 to 4 inches deep to keep surface roots consistently moist and cool. Please note that they do take time to get established in your soil. This plant is slow to establish but once it gets well rooted in the ground, the vigor improves dramatically. It is also slow to come into flower, so please remember that patience is a virtue and these gorgeous blooms are worth the wait!

They'll add so much beauty to shady spots around your yard. Just supply a sturdy trellis for them to climb on and watch them go! The plant is nearly disease and pest free. The most common problem is chlorosis caused by higher pH soils. Fertilize with Dr. Earth's Acid Lovers Natural and Organic Premium Fertilizer in the fall and after blooming to keep the plant healthy and soil pH acidic. It blooms on last year's wood, so prune right after its blooms start to fade in the late spring to early summer. Left alone, Climbing Hydrangea develops a bushy, informal habit.

Those big boisterous leaves can sometimes act like an umbrella and leave the roots dry. Provide moderate yet consistent moisture throughout the growing season and these appreciate a 3-4 inch thick layer of arborist mulch chips to help hold in moisture.
