Little Bluestem is a native prairie that is said to have originated in Missouri. It can be found in the wild as far north as Quebec, east to Maine, south to Florida, and west to Arizona. Once one of the most characteristic grasses of American tallpraries, Little Bluestem is now the official state of Nebraska.
'Prairie Blues' is an improved selection of the native bluestem. It offers a more consistent grey-blue foliage color that is quite striking in the garden. The narrow, upright leaves take on reddish-orange tones in the fall. Fluffy silver seed heads appear in late summer and last well into fall.
