Description
Little Bluestem is a Massachusetts-friendly, native ornamental grass offering striking seasonal interest. Its blue-green blades turn vibrant orange in the fall, with antique red seed heads that persist into winter. Compact and clump-forming, Little Bluestem is ideal for adding structure and subtle movement to perennial beds or native plantings.
Drought-tolerant and low maintenance, Little Bluestem is best trimmed in late winter before spring growth begins. It thrives in poor soils and open spaces, making it a smart choice for sustainable landscaping. Little Bluestem adds a kaleidoscope of color and texture to New England gardens from summer through winter.
