Description
Hardy and resilient, ‘Jazz’ Little Bluestem Grass is a garden-worthy ornamental grass. It tolerates almost any soil type and needs only good drainage and a sunny location. A native grass with an important place in North American ecology, Little Bluestem Grass has a very wide native range. It is found from Maine and Nova Scotia south to Florida, west to Arizona, north to Montana, and east across most of southern Canada. It also grows in much of central Mexico. It is most prominent in the Great Plains and in open canopy areas in the eastern United States. Resilient Little Bluestem grass grows dense, fibrous roots several feet deep. This means they are a great choice for erosion control, they are very long-lived, and they are tolerant to floods and drought. Schizachyrium scoparium is a larval host to the Cobweb Skipper, common wood nymph, Crossline Skipper, Dakota Skipper, Dusted Skipper, Indian Skipper, Leonard's Skipper, Ottoe Skipper, and Swarthy Skipper.
For best long-term health, cut the plant back to ground level in late winter or early spring to make way for new growth. Consider planting spring-flowering bulbs around the ornamental grass, as they flower before the grass has a presence and the grass disguises the aging bulb foliage as it grows.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
