Little bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium)

Little bluestem is a versatile perennial prairie grass, also known as a bunchgrass, which thrives in a variety of environments except for desert regions. It particularly flourishes in warmer climates with moderate rainfall. During the spring and summer, it has a distinctive blue-green hue, which is why it's commonly called little bluestem. As temperatures rise or conditions become drier, this grass transitions to shades of amber, copper, or tan.
