It tolerates everything from heavy clay to rocky, thin and poor soil. Use this deep-rooted perennial grass to stabilize a slope and prevent erosion. Depending on where you live, you may have heard about this beautiful ornamental utility grass called Bunch Grass, Sage Grass, or Beard Grass. It has become a vital part of good soil conservation in modern landscapes. Use The Blues to recapture soil structure and provide erosion control, which is so important in drought-tolerant landscapes. Because of its wide range of adaptability, the Little Bluestem is frequently seen in commercial landscapes, parks, and woodland planting. It absolutely shines in mass plantings used in meadows or prairie displays or in large areas as a fill plant for erosion control. Plant at 2 feet on center for mass planting of a quick fill within two seasons. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next. You can either mow or trim in early spring. Use The Blues Little Bluestem just about anywhere in your landscape. Edge a long border with these easy-care plants. Or, mix them into a perennial garden for a soft-textured accent. #ProPlantTips for Care This adaptable prairie grass grows best in full sun. However, it will easily grow in a wide range of soils, as long as they are well-drained. This includes fast-draining sandy soils and heavy clay soils. The Blues laughs at high heat and humidity. It’s extraordinarily cold hardy. The plant is disease and pest-resistant as well as adapted to urban pollution problems. Once established, they are drought tolerant and will require only occasional watering. Give young plants a regular amount of moderate water for the first season. Please wait to trim them back until after you start seeing new growth. You’ll love the winter interest, and the birds will surely appreciate your thoughtfulness. Once you see green growth emerging from the crown, cut them all the way down to the ground. This warm-season grass can be mowed, or hand-cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring. The new season of growth will fill out completely by April or May. We always sell out of our yearly crop of The Blues Little Bluestem grass. Order right now if you see it in stock on the site.

Bush cherries are fun-to-grow plants that offer an exciting alternative to cherry trees. They’re good looking, easy to grow and offer delicious, juicy cherries that are just too good to resist. Bush cherry plants are smaller than regular cherry trees. While they’re excellent as windbreaks, their impressive foliage and gorgeous blooms makes them pretty useful as ornamentals. Most varieties of bush cherries start producing within a few years of planting. For cherry lovers who’re just as impatient as me, I’d recommend Nanking Bush Cherry plant, a wonderful variety that sets fruit in its very first year!
