Prairie Blues Little Bluestem is a native grass with upright slender leaves that is a consistent grey-blue and has rose-orange fall color.  Tiny purple-brown flowers rise high above the foliage on stems in late summer and are followed by fluffy silver 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.
