Twilight Zone Little Bluestem Grass (Schizachyrium Scoparium) – 1 Gallon Pot

A captivating standout in our gardens, ’Twilight Zone’ Little Bluestem features beautiful blue-green and purple foliage in spring that turns to an iridescent silvery mauve in summer. With the arrival of cooler temperatures in fall the foliage intensifies in color adding lots more purple to the mix. About 4 feet tall and half as wide when grown up, Twilight Zones upright columnar form serves as a colorful vertical accent in small garden spaces or in groupings where space allows. Its soft colors blend beautifully with other perennials, shrubs, trees and other plants that have purple flowers or foliage. A strong performer in both Northern and Southern gardens, Twilight Zone thrives in full sun and well-drained, dry to average soils and hot and and cold temperatures down to -40F, so use it as a gorgeous solution in tough and dry problem sites.

Growing 4 to 4.5 feet tall and about 2 feet wide, the Twilight Zone Little Bluestem Grass is ideal for use as a vertical accent in small garden spaces or in groupings, large drifts or mass plantings in larger landscape borders. Also great as a solo or mixed with other plants in container gardens. A fine addition to ornamental grass gardens, bird and wildlife gardens, native plant gardens, prairies, meadows or naturalized areas. Because it is exceptionally drought tolerant when established it is also suited for xeriscaping.

Spacing:  18 to 24 inches apart for mass plantings; 5 feet or more apart for space between plants
