01/29/24 — Intrinsic Introductions’ Bouteloua 'Honeycomb' got a shoutout as a promising perennial in the January 29th, 2024 issue of Perennial Pulse, for its performance in the CSU trial gardens. GrowerTalks’ e-newsletter looks at the broad spectrum of plant forms, genera and cultivars, hardiness zones, propagation and production methods, and garden uses.

A hardy, adaptable grass, 'Honeycomb' is tan-colored with wire-like stems and eyelash-looking flowers. At trial it “was extremely vigorous and filled out very well for the first year,” according to Dr. Chad Miller, Assistant Professor and CSU Trial Gardens Director. He also noted that “the inflorescences really ‘light up’ in the early morning and late afternoon with sunrise and sunset.” Dr. Miller went on to describe the plant as “a sea of blooms.” He couldn’t have said it better.
