A Superior Selection of Native Little Bluestem
Standing Ovation is a carefully selected variety of North American native Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium), bred for stronger, more upright growth and greater adaptability. Unlike many Little Bluestem varieties that tend to flop, Standing Ovation maintains a tight, vertical form, making it ideal for modern landscapes, prairie restorations, and urban plantings.
Season-Long Color That Lasts into Winter
This high-performing ornamental grass provides bold structure and striking seasonal color from spring through winter. It emerges in spring with blue-green blades, deepening to rich purple at the base in summer. By late summer, delicate tan seed heads appear, adding texture and movement while also providing a valuable food source for birds and pollinators. In fall, the entire plant transforms into brilliant shades of red, orange, and purple, creating an unmissable focal point in the landscape. Even as winter sets in, Standing Ovation continues to shine—its blades fade to a warm wheat-gold, holding their shape and staying upright through snow and strong winds, unlike weaker varieties that collapse under harsh conditions.
Solves Common Landscaping Challenges
This versatile and highly functional grass is an excellent solution for dry, challenging soils, erosion control, and low-maintenance landscapes. Its deep root system helps stabilize slopes, making it ideal for erosion-prone areas. It thrives in poor, sandy, or rocky soils where other plants struggle, making it a great choice for xeriscaping and sustainable gardening.
Low-Maintenance and Highly Resilient
Standing Ovation is drought-tolerant, disease-resistant, and thrives with minimal care. It performs well in full sun and a wide range of soil types, requiring little to no supplemental watering once established. Whether planted as a border accent, privacy screen, or naturalized meadow planting, this durable native selection will provide year-round beauty with little effort.
