Schizachyrium scoparium / LITTLE BLUESTEM GRASS
Schizachyrium scoparium, commonly known as Little Bluestem, is a native ornamental grass valued for its upright growth habit, fine-textured foliage, and striking seasonal color changes. In the summer, its blue-green foliage provides a cool contrast in the garden, while in the fall, it transforms into beautiful shades of red, orange, and purple, offering vibrant visual interest. Little Bluestem thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry to average soil, making it a drought-tolerant and low-maintenance addition to gardens, prairies, or natural landscapes. It attracts pollinators and birds, particularly in late fall when its seeds become a food source for wildlife. Once established, it requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for those seeking an adaptable, attractive grass that provides year-round beauty.
