Little Bluestem

Schizachyrium scoparium

Little Bluestem is a beloved native bunchgrass that anchors prairies and naturalized landscapes throughout Texas with its upright, clump-forming habit and remarkable seasonal color shift. Growing 2 to 3 feet tall, its slender blue-green blades transform into a rich tapestry of copper, mahogany, and bronze as temperatures cool in fall, holding their color and fluffy silver seed heads well into winter for months of garden interest. Highly adaptable to poor, dry soils and requiring no supplemental irrigation once established, it is an essential plant for meadow gardens, erosion control, and habitat plantings that support native birds and butterflies.
