{"product_id":"bouteloua-curtipendula-1","title":"Bouteloua curtipendula (Sideoats Grama) - 1 gal","description":"Sideoats Grama is a native warm-season bunchgrass which has a wide distribution from southern Canada to Mexico. It is easy to please on infertile, dry, rocky soils in full sun. It tolerates a moderate amount of shade, but will spread faster and look fuller in more sun. It can be used as a native, delightfully wild-looking replacement for turf grass. Clumps of this grass will wander around by shallow rhizomes, sprouting new clumps nearby. It can be mown once a month during the growing season for a more maintained, slightly irregular lawn look, or it can be used as a framework for a \"pocket prairie\" when interplanted with low-growing wildflowers. Sideoats Grama does not compete well with larger prairie grasses, but it does have a strong root system which descends six feet beneath the soil to find moisture and nutrients.The seed heads of this grass have a delicate, pendulous quality. The flowers and the seeds they become hang from one-sided racemes, giving this species its common name. The seeds provide food and nesting material for birds and the plant is a larval host to several species of skippers.Sources:\u003cbr\u003eNative Ferns, Moss, \u0026amp; Grasses by William Cullina\u003cbr\u003eMissouri Botanical Garden\u003cbr\u003eLady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center\u003cbr\u003eUSDA FEIS\u003cbr\u003eGrow Native\u003cbr\u003eNational Park Service","brand":"Scioto Gardens Native Plant Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47949235454193,"sku":"BouCur1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/7092\/9905\/files\/150fd5e7-ff47-42c9-afd7-5312531e86db.jpg?v=1774289895","url":"https:\/\/scioto-gardens-native-plant-nursery.myshopify.com\/products\/bouteloua-curtipendula-1","provider":"Scioto Gardens Native Plant Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
