Schizachyrium scoparium (Little Bluestem)
grows 2-4 ft. tall (medium)
prefers full sun
prefers dry soil; tolerates drought after it’s established
blooms (seedheads) from August to October
host plant for pollinators
natural habitat: open forests, woodlands, barrens, outcrops, riverside prairies, dry clearings, fields, meadows, roadsides on a variety of soil types and substrates (very versatile!)
adds delicate texture to the autumn and winter garden
we like it best in autumn alongside goldenrods, late asters, and spent seedheads from summer flowers
