Schizachyrium scoparium, Little Bluestem Seeds

through summer, maturing to bronze and copper hues in fall. Even through winter, its feathery white seed heads and rich tones stand tall against the snow—adding texture and movement long after flowering ends. More than ornamental, Little Bluestem is a foundation species for dry, open habitats. Its dense roots hold the soil, resist erosion, and thrive in poor or rocky ground. The seeds provide food for native songbirds, while its foliage shelters small wildlife. Dozens of native butterflies and moths, including the Crossline Skipper , Cobweb Skipper , and Dusted Skipper , depend on it as a host plant for their caterpillars. Tough, drought-tolerant, and beautiful in every season, Little Bluestem is an essential choice for restoring meadow habitat, stabilizing slopes, or adding natural grace to a rain garden or dry border. approx. 300+ seeds / approx. .0872g
