Bluebunch Wheatgrass

Bluebunch Wheatgrass is a native, perennial, cool-season bunch grass.  It is palatable to both livestock and wildlife and is also useful in reclamation and erosion control.  Qualities include drought resistance, long lifespan, extensive root system, cold tolerance, resistance to fire, and ability to persist on thin, rocky soils.  Bluebunch Wheatgrass can grow at elevations between 500 and 10,000 feet above sea level.  It does not compete well with aggressive introduced grasses but is very compatible with slower growing native grasses.
