'Blaze' Little Bluestem Grass is grown for its exceptional fall color. A tall upright warm-season ornamental grass, Schizachyrium scoparium 'Blaze' mixes in nicely with flowering perennials and its grass blades turn deep red in the fall maturing to a pink winter color. Drought resistant perennial plant (xeric).
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-36" tall x 15" wide (seed propagated).'Blaze' Little Bluestem grass is invaluable in xeriscapes and native wildflower plantings, plus it has great winter color! A cultivar selected by agronomists in NE as a high yielding pasture grass, Schizachyrium scoparium 'Blaze' is also used ornamentally for its vivid red fall foliage. In winter it remains a standout as the leaves fade to deep pink. Blaze Little Bluestem grass is easily grown and adapts to any soil type, including clay.
Flat of 9 plants will cover 12 square feet when planted together
