Description

Schizachyrium ‘The Blues’; Schizachyrium scoparium ‘The Blues’ is an erect, upright ornamental grass with shades of blue-green and slight pink tinge at the base of the foliage. Additionally, ‘The Blues’ produces tiny bronze flowers along the length of the stem in late summer and changes to fluffy clusters of sliver-white seed heads in early winter.

Schizachyrium ‘The Blues’ enjoys full sun with well-draining soil but is adaptable to dry or rocky environments and can be grown under black walnut trees. A low maintenance grass, Schizachyrium is tolerant of drought and erosion, making it the perfect fit in both rain gardens and areas of intense sunlight. Schizachyrium is considered one of the most vibrant ornamental grasses, given the variety of colors it features throughout the year and its adaptability to a wide range of growing conditions.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.
