HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow blue grama seeds either in late fall or early spring. Plant the Bouteloua Gracilis seed just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. Because of their extensive root system, the plants grow rather slowly. This plant grows best in average, well drained soil, though it adapts to nearly any soil type including rocky, shallow soil and clay. It tolerates drought and cold temperatures extremely well. This plant may self-seed, and resists deer and attracts small birds. It makes an excellent choice for controlling erosion, as well as being ornamental throughout the autumn and winter.
Seed Saving: Collect the seed as soon as the seed heads begin to turn tan and dry; the seed should strip easily from the stem. Spread the seed out in a protected location until it has dried completely. Store blue grama seeds in a cool, dry place.

Blue Grama seed
I have not planted the seed yet. It is too cold in Wyoming. I will say that the product came in good time and I'm hoping it's the answer to some weed problems.
excellent germination
Germinated better than expected. A recommended seed supplier for native flowers
Blue Gram seeds
This review regards EverWilde's service. I can't review the seed quality since they've yet to be sown. I wrote a previous review stating my disappointment that my seed order hadn't been received. When I brought this to the attention of EverWilde, the sales team immediately sent another packet which arrived very promptly. I'm delighted and grateful for their responsiveness. Now to plant those seeds!
Spring project
Received the seeds in great shape. Looking forward to planting them this spring.
Pleased to find these seeds
Finding natural grass seeds can be difficult and expensive. I like the packaging because these seeds will keep well until spring. I planted some in the winter in light snow and I'll plant more later. Blue grama is a wonderful grass for erosion, deer, cows and horses. I wish you carried black grama!
Pretty with native wildflowers
The seed heads look like flags or eyebrows. I have seen how Texas Native Grass Seeds put them in Texas Native Wildflower beds. So I would like to see more of this grass in my pasture as well. Everwilde Farm delivered these seeds quickly.
A+ for prompt shipping
