Interesting Notes:

Warm Season Grasses: These grasses are much slower starting in the spring. They do not push new growth until temperatures warm in early to midsummer. They flower later in the summer or fall with most blooms remaining into the winter. Most warm season grasses tolerate heat, humidity and drought; some even thrive in these conditions.

Little Bluestem Growing and Maintenance Tips

Grows best in an average well-drained soil, in full sun, tolerating drought once established. Thrives in summer heat and humidity. Plants should be cut back in the spring to make way for new growth. Too much moisture or too fertile a soil will cause flowers to flop, creating a messy look. Spectacular in mass plantings, waving in the breeze.
