Slender grama is a perennial grass preferring warm climates, with slender, sprawling stems that root at the nodes. This adaptation allows it to form dense mats, providing effective ground coverage. Slender grama produces delicate, spike-like inflorescences that reflect its hardiness and ability to thrive in arid conditions, marking it as a resilient and attractive choice for ornamental landscaping.
