Flat foliage is blue throughout most of the growing season before changing a reddish-purple in the fall. Reddish-brown seed heads rise out of the mound forming foliage in late summer, and if left on the plant through winter, provide texture and interest to an otherwise bleak landscape. Tolerates clay, drought, alkaline, and other poor soils as well as high heat and humidity. It is also known to have some deer resistance. Named the Perennial Plant of the Year for 2022.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSchizachyrium scoparium \u003c\/em\u003eis an Iowa native.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TimberPine","offers":[{"title":"#2","offer_id":48241689821433,"sku":"GRALBS002","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/4435\/9929\/files\/Little_Bluestem_The_Blues__21419.1769730935.386.513.jpg?v=1775334230","url":"https:\/\/shop.timberpine.com\/products\/grass-little-bluestem-the-blues-2","provider":"TimberPine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
