Prized for its outstanding fall and winter color, ‘Blaze’ Little Bluestem is a North American native grass featuring blue-green leaves and stems during spring and summer that turn to strong shades of red in fall and then to orange, pink and purple shades in winter. The attractive tan seed heads provide texture in the landscape and also food for many species of birds. A strong grower that stands up to high winds and pouring rain, infertile soil and drought. A fast growing more compact variety that performs well in both containers and the landscape.

Blaze Little Bluestem Grass is exceptionally easy to grow in well-drained average to poor soils with dry to medium moisture in full sun. It tolerates a wide range of soil types ranging from clay to sandy. Good drought resistance once established and tolerates both high heat and humidity. Cut plants back to just above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
