Fertile soil and too much water might cause other Little Bluestems to flop; however, ‘Standing Ovation’ generally does not droop, and has withstood high winds and pounding rain. Its sturdy, thick stems are responsible for this standup quality. It has lovely color, too. Blues with hints of greens, purples, and pinks change to shades of red and orange in fall. Discovered by North Creek Nurseries, Landenberg, PA. Unauthorized propagation is prohibited.

Appealing in most seasons, Andropogon gerardii 'Indian Warrior' (Big Bluestem) is a warm season perennial grass forming an upright clump of stems with flattened leaves which emerge dark green in spring and turn red with purple dusky tones by midsummer. As the cooler weather arrives, the foliage changes to deep purple by mid-fall. Flowering stems rise in late summer above the foliage bearing glossy deep purple, 3-parted, finger-like flower clusters, resembling turkey feet (hence the common name). Perfect for providing height and color to the garden, Big Bluestem is drought tolerant, requires very little care, is virtually disease and pest free and provides months of interest. This long-lived architectural grass has a variety of uses, including screening, naturalizing, restoring prairies, and nesting materials for birds and mammals.

'Prairie Blues' is an exceptional variety of native Little Bluestem Grass, selected for its vibrant color and compact growth. Fine leaf blades shine with a more intense blue color than most of the species, and late summer brings slender deep-purple plumes atop the foliage for an added layer of color. In autumn, small, airy, silver-white seed heads glisten in the autumn sun, against foliage that shifts to a warm bronze-orange color. Leave standing over winter to enjoy the colors and textures. An outstanding choice for both formal structured mass plantings and natural-looking landscapes. An exceptionally cold-hardy grass. (Schizachyrium scoparium)
