Winner of the 2022 Perennial Plant Of The Year, ‘Prairie Blues’ Little Bluestem Grass is a tough but pretty native ornamental grass so adaptable that almost anyone anywhere in the country can grow it! It is an outstanding and super low maintenance selection for landscape sites with poor soil, low water, heat, humidity and full sun. In addition to its value for its enduring blue-gray foliage, fall color, and low-maintenance properties, this native prairie grass provides seeds for birds and is beneficial for many butterfly species. The foliage turns a rosy orange color in fall that contrasts beautifully with the downy white seeds. Excellent as a specimen for smaller garden spaces or in groupings or massed for a stunning show of color in larger landscape borders.

Little Bluestem Grass is exceptionally easy to grow in well-drained average to poor soils with dry to medium moisture in full sun. It tolerates a wide range of soil types ranging from clay to sandy. Good drought resistance once established and tolerates both high heat and humidity. Cut plants back to just above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
