Little Bluestem
Schizachyrium scoparium
Type: Grass
Source: Native
Bloom Period: Warm Season
Color: Bluish Green
Soils: Dry to Medium Soil Moisture
Sun: Full Sun
Height: 1' - 3'
Little Bluestem is a 2' to 4' tall native perennial warm season bunch grass. It is adapted to a wide variety of soils and soil moisture and can withstand some shading. It is perhaps best adapted to well-drained, dry, poor soils. As an ornamental it is a valued plant in borders, native gardens, and wildflower meadows. Little Bluestem is perhaps our most important native grass for wildlife habitat, especially for ground nesting birds. Bare ground for travel, bugging sites, nesting areas, and predator cover are a few of the advantages for ground nesting birds.
