Schizachyrium scoparium ‘Twilight Zone’
PP27432
TWILIGHT ZONE LITTLE BLUESTEM

appear. About half as wide as it is tall; it has a
full, upright columnar shape. Thrives in full sun
and well-drained soils. Use it in tough, dry spots
for a gorgeous solution to problem sites. A strong
performer in Southern gardens. Introduced by

edges. Named for its numerous little spikelets
that appear to be covered with wool.

Sesleria autumnalis
AUTUMN MOOR GRASS
This clumping, cool-season grass is a fantastic
filler, matrix plant, and ground cover. The tuft
of yellowish-green foliage emerges in spring; in
midsummer narrow stems emerge and hover
above with silvery-white inflorescences. Good
looking, uncomplicated, and robust. Reasonably
drought tolerant. Fits the need for a small,
congenial grass in full sun to part shade. Best
shipped by mid-June.
Sesleria autumnalis
Cool season, green, 1’, 2’ with blooms, sun-part
shade, dry-average, flowers late summer, Zones 4-7,
Origin: Europe
