The Blues Illustrated

August 21st, 2014 | Focus on Grasses

We could tell you all about Schizachyrium scoparium ‘The Blues’ till we’re “blue” in the face. Mention its great qualities, such as drought tolerance and its fabulous foliage. How it’s one of our favorite Little Bluestems because it’s beautiful, looks great in sweeps and masses, provides food and shelter to birds and butterflies, and is one heck of a low-maintenance native grass.

But sometimes, we can say it best with pictures.

The Blues Little Bluestem — By midsummer ‘The Blues’ looks lovely. Foliage colors are a mix of pastels and blue.

Now is a great time to get ‘The Blues’! Pot them up for fall sales. Direct plant in the landscape. Or, overwinter for early sales next year. Call 800-203-8590 or email our sales team.
