I would like to see a new block called "Sand Grass".
What is it's purpose?
It acts as a fringe between desert biomes and grassy biomes.
It would have it's own biome- "Desert Edge"
and/or "Beach Edge" ;
Much in the same manner as "Extreme Hills Edge" helps smooth the transition
between mountain and plain.
Why?
When grass gets hot, it turns brownish in color- fair enough, but it doesn't actually blend into sand.
It sticks out like a piece of glass in your foot, and is aesthetically unpleasing.
I suggest having the "Sand Grass" block look and function like normal grass, except that bits of sand is dusted on the grass.
Other details
When sandy grass spreads onto dirt, it spreads regular grass.
The grass pixels are affected by biome color.
When right clicking Sand Grass with Bone Meal, Desert Shrubs can be grown.
Would saplings be able to be placed and grown on sandy grass?
What about mushrooms and flowers? Or would the grass be too dry for them?
Correct; the grass is too dry to support life other than shrubs and cacti.
Also, it is the only block that supports cacti and isn't effected by gravity.

Thanks for answering all my questions. You have my full support.

What would it grow if you right clicked it with bone meal?

Desert Shrubs.
I'll add it to the OP.
