Don't Forget To Add These for Your Plants:

Monrovia® Smoke Signal Little Bluestem is a native grass with strongly upright slender bluegreen leaves that take on scarlet tones in summer and deepen to purple in fall.  Tiny tanflowers rise high above the foliage on stems in late summer and are followed by fluffy white seed heads that persist through winter.  Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.

Schizachyrium scoparium is a native host plant for 6 different skippers:  the Ottoe, Indian, Crossline, Dusted, Cobweb, and Dixie skipper.  The seeds are eaten by small birds.
