Is little bluestem grass the right plant for your garden? Read on to find out: Above: Photograph by Drew Avery via Flickr. This plant needs little care, is remarkably unfussy about soil and moisture, and all on its own, without any intervention by gardeners, puts on a colorful show each and every season of the year. I would like to witness a miracle each year, when a carpet of tender green springtime shoots transforms by the end of the growing season into waves of papery seed heads.Īmong the indigenous species of perennial grasses that are the natural denizens of meadows, little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium) stands out. I would like a garden that can lure butterflies and birds on a major scale. But there are other times-like when I visit New York City’s High Line park, where grasslands grow above the city streets of Chelsea-when I yearn for enough space to hold swaths of native plants. It makes me privately feel a bit smug that my own little yard is so manageable. When I visit large gardens, I am in awe of their beauty-as well as the work that is required to make and keep them gorgeous.
