Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues'

Little Bluestem

'The Blues' Little Bluestem has blue foliage in the summer. The burgundy-orange fall color is spectacular, and is showiest in a dry, well-drained site. If you want to be impressed, go see the mass planting at Scott Arboretum in Swarthmore, PA. Another wonderful plant from Dr. Richard Lighty and the Mt. Cuba Center.
