Schizachyrium scoparium 'Standing Ovation', commonly known as Little Bluestem, is a native ornamental grass prized for its upright, dense growth habit and striking seasonal color changes. In the summer, the plant has silvery-blue foliage that turns to vibrant red, orange, and purple hues in the fall, providing exceptional visual interest throughout the seasons. It is a compact variety of Little Bluestem, making it suitable for smaller spaces, borders, or as a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant groundcover. 'Standing Ovation' thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and its fine texture pairs well with other perennials, grasses, or wildflowers. Once established, this grass is highly resilient, requiring minimal care while adding year-round structure and seasonal color to the landscape.
