36-40" tall x 18-24" wide. 'Prairie Blues' Little Bluestem Grass is an excellent selection for sustainable landscaping. Plants show good drought tolerance once established and perform well on some of the most challenging sites. Clay soils, low fertility, high heat, and humidity are no match for Little Bluestem, and 'Prairie Blues' shrugs off cold weather, tolerating winter chills to zone 3. All that rugged toughness hides behind a charming mask of silver and blue. Plant 'Prairie Blues' for dramatic texture and color in perennial borders and cottage-style plantings, or naturalize in meadows and wildlife gardens. The silver seed heads attract birds and often persist into the winter, and dense foliage provides shelter throughout the year. Let foliage stand for winter habitat and cut back to 2-3 inches above ground in early spring before new growth begins. No serious insect or disease problems.
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.

"Small but going to live"
"Planted this in the spring and it reached full height by August. Really impressed with this vigorous gal! The seafoam and purple colors are gorgeous."
"The Prairie Blues Little Bluestem Grass was described as hardy in poor soil conditions. We took that as an invitation to try to grow it in our dry, sandy, clay soils, here in Wyoming where temperatures range from 100 in the summer to -20 in the winter. They have grown well beyond our expectations! We found keeping the grass, AND the surrounding soil moist during the first season was one of the main reasons the grass succeeded. Thanks, American Meadows."
"Prairie Blues is a lovely selection! Held it"s blue color and upright habit till January in my Zone 10 garden. As it dried it took on lovely hues of pink and tan. Formed a nice 1 foot clump in a single season. Perfect in a perennial bed."
