Grasses that are perennial and ornamental are enjoying new popularity in Texas gardens. Little Bluestem grass (Schizachyrium scoparium) is a Texas native which has moved from the pasture into the home landscape in recent years. Once established, it is a drought-resistant, easy-care clumping grass that is attractive at any season. Little bluestem grass performs well as an accent in the garden, and is also a very good choice for natural settings or wildscapes in the home landscape. It provides interest when planted in random patches on slopes and dry areas associated with post oak and yaupon landscapes, and grows either in full sun or partial shade.
