Description
Twilight Zone Little Bluestem Grass is an exceptional perennial grass perfect for Massachusetts gardens that experience hot, dry summers. This grass features striking green-blue ribbon-like foliage that deepens to violet-purple hues in the fall, adding seasonal color and texture. In late summer, silvery white seed heads rise above the upright, spreading form, making Twilight Zone Bluestem a standout accent plant for mass plantings or groundcover.
This hardy perennial is low maintenance and thrives in well-drained soils typical of Massachusetts landscapes. Cutting back the foliage in late winter encourages fresh growth in spring, maintaining its fine, delicate texture. Use Twilight Zone Bluestem to create stunning visual interest in sunny spots with hot, dry conditions.
