Bounty from the Boonies
Little Bluestem Grass, Schizachyrium scoparium - Seeds
$4.00
Unit price per$4 each or 3 for $10 (save $2!)
A lovely grass with delicate stems that sway in the breeze and soft white seed heads. Leaves turn bronze colour in the fall. It is clump forming and will not overtake the garden. Little Bluestem is a warm season grass so it will be slower to show in the spring.
Type: Perennial, native to Ontario
Height: 2-3'
Light: full sun to light shade
Soil: sandy to loam
Water: will tolerate very dry soils
Bloom time: fall
Planting: Seeds grow best when planted into containers in the spring. Press into the soil well to make contact with the soil. They will take some time to germinate and will only do so when it gets a bit warmer. Here is a good guide: A Beginner's Guide To Little Bluestem | GrowIt BuildIT
Wild life support: Seeds feed a variety of birds and are great for creating hiding and shelter spots for birds and other wildlife. They can be used in the vegetable garden to create a "beetle bank"- an area to protect ground beetles which are awesome predators of garden pests.
