Schizachyrium scoparium 'Jazz' - Jazz Little Bluestem
Commonly called Jazz Little Bluestem, is a refined, compact selection of the native prairie grass known for its upright form and outstanding seasonal color. Its fine, blue-green foliage maintains a tidy habit that resists flopping, even in rich soils. By late summer, purplish-bronze flowers emerge above the blades, followed in autumn by fluffy, silvery seed heads that persist into winter, adding movement and texture. As the season cools, foliage shifts to striking deep purple and red tones, ensuring multi-season interest. Ideal for borders, naturalistic plantings, and wildlife gardens, Jazz combines native durability with ornamental appeal.
