SCHIZACHYRIUM
Schizachyrium scoparium
LITTLE BLUESTEM
This native prairie grass grows in a loose bunch
with flowering stems that grow straight up out
of the foliage. A medley of greens, blues and
purples turn to multi-reds and orange hues in
fall. Produces downy, white seeds. Develops
deep, fibrous roots, which helps with drought
tolerance and soil retention. Thrives in full sun;
tolerates poor soil and provides winter interest.

dry, flowers early fall, Zones 3-9, Origin: North
America

the nursery world for its exceptional fall beauty.
