Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) is a robust, versatile grass reaching heights of 24 to 36 inches. It showcases a striking blue-green hue that transitions to a rich copper in the fall, adding seasonal interest to gardens. Not only visually captivating, it is ecologically valuable as it supports various insects and birds. It’s a larval host for several skippers and provides seeds for songbirds. Ideal for full sun locations with dry to medium soil, Little Bluestem is excellent for mass plantings, borders, and prairie gardens, offering both aesthetic appeal and ecological benefits.
