Overview
A true color-changer, ‘Chameleon’ Little Bluestem Grass has a compact form and a bold impact. Green blades marked with unique white variegation shoot up during spring and summer to create a fountain of foliage. Then, when the leaves on trees change from green to red, ‘Chameleon’ does the same—its striped blades redden and blush, leaving its white stripes a pretty pink. Lovely in containers, small gardens, and meadow style plantings.

Description

‘Chameleon’ Little Bluestem Grass (Schizachyrium scoparium 'Chameleon' PP31339) brings the drama to a meadowscape. A native cultivar, ‘Chameleon’ Little Bluestem was discovered as a chance seedling amidst a growth of 'The Blues' Little Bluestem; it was discovered in France and propagated in North America for its unique beauty. Little Bluestem grows best in warm climates and well-drained soil, and is drought resistant once established, requiring minimal watering. It is also salt tolerant. This warm-season grass will wake slowly in spring, but offers long-lasting winter interest. Plus, native Little Bluestem grasses are a great addition to habitat gardens, providing food, shelter, and nesting materials for birds.
