Standing Ovation little bluestem

Standing Ovation little bluestem is a warm season grass that does well in poor, dry soils. It keeps a tight, upright habit throughout the entire growing season. Spikey bluish-green leaves transition to a brilliant display of shades of red changing to deep purple in the autumn. Seed heads remain upright through winter and provide winter interest and food for birds. Standing Ovation is a selection of a grass that's native to much of the United States. Brought to Plant Select® by North Creek Nursery. Useful in mass plantings or meadow designs.

Tips from the pros: Best planted in spring or early summer in dry climates. Leave plants standing through winter and cut back to the ground in spring.
