Schizachyrium scoparium ‘Twilight Zone’, commonly known as Little Bluestem, is an ornamental grass known for its striking color changes throughout the growing season. It begins with blue-green foliage that gradually turns a rich purple-red in the fall, creating a stunning visual display. This compact cultivar is more refined than the species, forming tight clumps that work well in borders, meadows, or native plant gardens. In late summer, it produces airy, silvery seed heads that add further visual interest. It’s a hardy, drought-tolerant grass, perfect for adding texture and movement to a variety of landscapes.
