Kurt Bluemel

Over the course of his remarkable career, Kurt Bluemel traveled the world selecting, propagating, introducing, and championing grasses for the American landscape. He introduced hundreds of ornamental varieties and helped transform plants once considered unusual into defining elements of contemporary horticulture. We are excited to share more about our visit, Kurt’s remarkable legacy, and the plants that continue to carry his vision forward—many of which we are proud to offer at Gateway.
