Excluding Sales Tax
Little Bluestem is a 2' to 4' tall, native, perennial, warm season bunch grass. It is adapted to a wide variety of soils and soil moisture and can withstand some shading. It is perhaps best adapted to well-drained, dry, poor soils. As an ornamental it is a valued plant in borders, native gardens, and wildflower meadows. Little Bluestem is perhaps our most important native grass for wildlife habitat, especially for ground nesting birds. Bare ground between the clumps allows for travel, bugging sites, nesting areas, and predator cover. “Camper” Cultivar plant material is from Nebraska and Kansas.
Prices listed are based on pure live seed weight, not bulk weight.
