Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues' / LITTLE BLUESTEM GRASS

Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues', also known as Little Bluestem, is a striking ornamental grass with deep blue-gray foliage that provides a cool-toned accent in the garden, especially during the summer months. The plant has an upright, narrow growth habit, making it an excellent choice for borders, meadows, or prairie plantings. In the fall, 'The Blues' turns beautiful shades of reddish-orange and purple, adding vibrant color to the landscape as the weather cools. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry to average soil, making it a drought-tolerant and low-maintenance option. 'The Blues' attracts birds and provides excellent habitat for wildlife, while its fine texture and seasonal color transitions make it a standout in any garden.
