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

Where the leaves meet the stem, a cup like structure is formed, hence the name. This collects water from which insects and birds will drink- how charming!
Warning: The only drawback to Cup Plant is that it self seeds quite aggressively and you should remove seedling quickly in the spring to control the spread.
