The Standing Ovation Little Bluestem is worthy of applause all season. This native North American grass is good as ground cover of massing or texture in a rock garden. Sturdy upright habit of attractive fine textured blue-green foliage gives way to branches adorn with small flowers. Fluffy, light catching seed clusters when the foliage turns an intense orange-red in the fall. Enjoy this display of showy colour through most of the winter. Pair with Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’.
