Twilight Zone Little Bluestem Grass

Schizachyrium scoparium ‘Twilight Zone' (Little Bluestem Grass) is a stunning native grass selection with iridescent, silvery-blue foliage and hints of purple, which become especially pronounced in mid to late summer. A rigidly upright columnar growth habit makes ‘Twilight Zone' a great architectural addition to ornamental and naturalistic plantings alike. Plant ‘Twilight Zone’ in full sun and well-drained, infertile soil.

The native species S. scoparium has significant wildlife benefits, serving as a larval host plant for nine skipper species and providing essential overwintering habitat for various insects and wildlife. Leave the foliage standing through the winter to provide year round interest as well as a valuable food source for birds.
