The Blues Illustrated

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.
