Plant Sentry™

Plant Sentry is designed to protect both consumers and the nursery trade from invasive plant pests and diseases. Sites that display the Plant Sentry protection badge are protected from consumers buying and nurseries shipping material carrying invasive pests and diseases.

This proprietary eCommerce software prevents the shipment of a restricted plant to each state. The Plant Sentry system includes a shipment certification program. The Plant Sentry Compliance Officer works closely with NatureHills.com and each nursery or fulfillment center to ensure only compliant plants are sold to customers.

Year-long brilliance, treat yourself to a little piece of heaven in your garden with Blue Heaven Little Bluestem Grass (Schizachyrium scoparium 'MinnblueA'). This angelically beautiful grass has been blessed with striking colors and stunning texture!

Blue Heaven Little Bluestem Grass grows tall in dense and expressive clumps. It's a more upright form of the native with better blue color and less of a tendency to flop over! This great grass features bluish-green new growth that blushes to a glowing amber, bright rose red, and garnet. This showy grass isn't through and shows off more as it mellows to a spicy bronze that lasts through winter!

And while the Blue Heaven Little Bluestem Grass's foliage is striking in its own right, its 3-inch long racemes really create an additional spectacle in fall. These tall plumes flutter in the breeze and catch the eyes of passersby with their violet and golden hues. Once these flowers fade, they're replaced with puffs of silvery seed heads. Both fresh and dried, they look fantastic when added to a bouquet or dried arrangement.

Planting and Application:

This tall, strong Ornamental grass is a great choice for gardeners with a penchant for native-looking prairie plantings and their informal wild feel. The Blue Heaven Little Bluestem Grass is a cousin to the tallgrass native of North America's wet meadows, boggy glades, prairies, and fields. It also grows fabulously in the north and northwest because of its extreme cold hardiness! A full-sun grass, Little Bluestem does fantastic in extreme heat and sun all day long just as beautifully!

This bright and joyous grass makes a perfect choice for rain gardens, native gardens, wildflower plantings, and wooded margins. It will add excellent vertical impact in your cottage garden or as a back-of-the-border planting, and low screen. Really show it off in groupings and en masse plantings that will barely require you to lift a finger to keep them looking spiffy!

  • Gorgeous Color-Changing Blue-Green Blades
  • Matures Blushed in Amber, Rose & Red
  • Spicy Bronze Fall Color
  • Violet & Gold Seed Plumes Fade Silver
  • Colorful Winter Interest
  • Specimen & En Masse Plantings, Groupings, Backdrops & Colorful Screening

#ProPlantTips for Care

Wonderfully cold and heat-hardy throughout USDA growing zones 3 to 10, Little Bluestem Ornamental Grasses do best in well-drained soil with full sun. Regarding soil quality, you don't have to pamper this pretty grass! It does well in almost any well-drained soil, including clay. It does well when cut back heavily in late winter or early spring and appreciates being divided every 3-5 years to maintain vigor. Be patient with warm-season grasses because they will take a bit longer to green up in the spring, but then holds strong and steady all summer through winter.

  • Full Sun Lover
  • Moist to Average Well-Drained Soil - Including Clay
  • Moderate Moisture Needs & Tolerates Occasionally Wet Sites
  • Very Low Maintenance
  • Prune Early Spring
