Bluestem grasses are ornamental warm-season grasses known for their attractive foliage, seasonal color change, and year-round landscape interest. Native varieties such as little bluestem and big bluestem offer texture, height, and swaying movement that enhance borders, meadow plantings, and naturalized garden areas. These grasses are hardy, adaptable to a variety of soils, and provide visual appeal from summer into fall with striking foliage and seed heads.
