Bluebunch Wheatgrass (Pseudoroegneria spicata) is a cornerstone of native western landscapes, prized for its resilience and ecological value. This hardy bunchgrass stands upright w ith bluish-green foliage that gently sways in the wind, bringing subtle movement and texture to gardens and restoration projects alike. Its tall seed heads catch the light beautifully in late spring and early summer, adding an airy vertical accent to meadows or dry borders. A natural choice for xeriscaping and soil stabilization, Bluebunch Wheatgrass thrives with very little water once established and helps support native wildlife by providing cover and forage. Its deep roots make it excellent for erosion control on slopes and disturbed sites, and it resists grazing pressure from deer. Whether used in a native plant garden, as a companion to wildflowers, or for large-scale habitat restoration, this grass is as functional as it is beautiful. Photo credit: James H. Thomas Show more
