Comments: Little bluestem is a great grass for a mid height ornamental planting for winter interest. [cite: 695, 696] Planted from our pots in spring or early summer it will provide a very nice sized plant the same year with great fall and winter color. [cite: 695, 696, 697] Cut established clumps back hard by midsummer to provide the freshest leaves for fall color. [cite: 695, 696, 697, 698] It will not be of a lot of interest in your garden through summer, so planting around annuals that will be taken out for winter is a good use for this plant.
