Little Bluestem (3" pot)
Sun: Full, Soil: All Types, Moisture: Semi-Dry to Moderate, Height: 1-3 ft
Little bluestem is a perennial grass with blue tinted basal roots and inward folding blades that begin growing in the late spring. This grass has been used extensively in prairie restoration for wildlife habitat, food source, and erosion control. Little bluestem is relatively resistant to drought, but the fungus, Phyllosticta andropogonivora, can cause leaf spot disease which is detrimental to the plant.
