Little Bluestem Prairie Blues

Schizachyrium scoparium 'Prairie Blues'

‘Prairie Blues’ is a standout selection of Little Bluestem prized for its silvery-blue summer blades and consistently upright form. This warm-season grass brings strong vertical lines to the landscape, and as autumn arrives, the foliage turns shades of rust, copper, and orange for an extended season of interest. Soft, fluffy seed heads appear in late summer, catching light. It grows in tidy clumps, typically reaching 2 to 3 feet in height and maintaining a narrow footprint. Ideal for mass plantings, pairing with native perennials, or adding movement and contrast in xeric or prairie-style beds, especially in the heat and dry soils of North Texas.

  • Silvery-blue summer color
  • Copper-orange fall transformation
  • Soft seed heads in late season
  • Upright, clumping growth habit
  • Heat-adapted for North Texas

Plant in full sun and well-drained soil for best performance. Cut back dead foliage in late winter to allow fresh spring growth. A reliable choice for native landscapes and flower beds.
