Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) is a native North American prairie grass with a rich history as a foundational species in tallgrass ecosystems, valued for its resilience and ecological benefits. It features fine-textured, upright blue-green blades that turn striking shades of red, orange, and bronze in the fall, reaching about 2–4 feet tall. Adapted to a wide range of soils, it thrives in full sun with minimal water or fertilizer once established, making it ideal for xeriscaping and low-maintenance landscapes. Sow seeds directly in late fall or early spring; germination and establishment typically take 90–110 days. Little Bluestem is prized for erosion control, wildlife habitat, and ornamental appeal, while also serving as a larval host for several butterfly species and providing excellent winter interest.
