2' tall, narrower clumps that open wide with age, gray-green leaves, one side-placed flowers with purple-red anthers in summer, flowers July/August - September.
Full sun, half shade, average soils, dry to medium, rocky soil, gritty soil, tolerates dry clay.

It is deer resistant, but other big mammals feed on leaves too (bison, elk, horses, cattle).
Hardy in zones 4 to 9. Native to most of USA, see the USDA distribution map.
Can be used in public spaces (especially in traffic islands with extreme conditions), or private gardens, cottage gardens, naturalistic plantings or prairie gardens.Great for erosion control on dry slopes or dry spots.

“Sow your Wild Oats!”
This one is a winner and a keeper! My order of SIDE-OATS GRAMA (3) came perfectly packaged to ensure safe shipping and minimal impact on the plant. The plant specimens are extremely healthy with excellent root systems— shiny leaves and multiple stems, zero cracks on stems or detectable weeds in the soil. I would purchase again, A++ rating.
