This warm season bunch grass is native to 45 of the 50 states making it the most abundant of all native grasses. It grows well on uplands or lowlands over a wide range of well drained soils. Little Bluestem is used in low maintenance mixtures with other lower growing natives for recreational areas, golf courses, roadsides, and wildlife habitat. It turns a brilliant russet-red color in fall through winter making it a great choice for landscaping or ornamental purposes.
