‘Blue Mac’ Prairie Junegrass

‘Blue Mac’ Prairie Junegrass (Koeleria macrantha) is a refined selection of one of Utah’s most resilient native grasses. Its compact, bluish-green clumps bring texture and soft color to the landscape, while its airy, early-summer flower spikes add movement and subtle beauty. Unlike some native bunchgrasses, it stays neat and doesn’t flop, making it well-suited for use in garden borders, meadowscapes, and naturalized plantings.

Tough and water-wise, ‘Blue Mac’ thrives in dry, sunny locations where it requires very little care once established. Its native roots mean it’s perfectly adapted to Utah’s climate and soils, and it provides important habitat value for insects and cover for small wildlife. Whether planted in drifts for a soft prairie feel or tucked into a mixed border for fine-textured contrast, this is a reliable and beautiful choice for sustainable landscapes.
