Perennial clumps grow up to a foot in diameter
Little bluestem is a very ornamental bunchgrass with fine-textured foliage that forms very dense mounds
Slender, blue-green stems, appearing in August, reach 3 ft. by September and become radiant mahogany-red with white, shining seed tufts in the fall.
Color remains nearly all winter.
This mid-prairie species, also known as Bunchgrass, gets its name from the bluish color of the stem bases in the spring, but most striking is the plants reddish-tan color in fall, persisting through winter snows. In winter the seeds, fuzzy white at maturity, are of particular value to small birds.
