About Blue Grama Grass and growing it in Alberta

Highly drought- and heat-tolerant, it thrives in poor or arid soils, making it ideal for xeriscapes, prairies, sustainable landscapes, and urban green spaces. An attractive alternative to traditional turf, it generally resists pests, may face rust in humid conditions, and will self-seed.
