Schizachyrium scoparium Twilight Zone PP 27432 Zaire Unless an extremely cold winterWe love Schizachyrium 'Twilight Zone', the latest selection of the widespread US native little bluestem grass. The powder blue leaves form a 3' tall, sturdy, upright clump with only a 20" basal spread. Starting in June, the basal foliage begins a transition from blue to lavender, which creates a truly stunning contrast. Schizachyrium 'Twilight Zone' is an amazingly fun plant for designers who enjoy creating color combinations in the garden.
