    Details

    Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) is a graceful, clump-forming native grass that brings subtle texture in summer and a stunning rust-red display in fall, topped with silvery seedheads that shimmer in the sunlight. This 32-plant pack is ideal for adding structure, movement, and ecological value to wildflower gardens, prairies, or dry, sunny borders.

    A true prairie grass, Little Bluestem thrives in well-drained soils, including dry or sandy spots where many plants struggle. It stays upright and tidy, even through winter, making it a perfect companion for showy wildflowers. As a host plant for many skipper butterfly species, it supports pollinator lifecycles, and its seeds provide food for birds in colder months.

    Why Choose a Tray of Little Bluestem?

    • Seasonal color – Rusty-red fall foliage and sparkling seedheads.
    • Supports wildlife – Butterfly host and winter bird food.
    • Tough & low-maintenance – Thrives in dry, poor, or sandy soils.

    Plant Little Bluestem in full sun and well-drained soil to enjoy a low-care native grass that complements color, supports biodiversity, and adds year-round beauty to your landscape.
