PriceFrom $4.50
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 for travel, bugging sites, nesting areas, and predator cover are a few of the advantages for ground nesting birds. Coastal Plains Germplasm plant material is from East Texas Plant Materials Center and was developed for ease of establishment in the coastal plains region.
