Chameleon Little Bluestem

Chameleon Little Bluestem (Schizachyrium scoparium 'Chameleon') is a captivating ornamental grass prized for its unique color-changing foliage and graceful, upright form. This versatile grass typically forms dense clumps of slender stems that rise above the ground, reaching a height of about 2 to 3 feet. In spring and summer, the foliage emerges with a striking combination of green, blue, and purple tones, creating a kaleidoscope of color in the garden. As the season progresses, the leaves transition to shades of red, orange, and bronze, providing vibrant autumn interest. Chameleon Little Bluestem is an excellent choice for adding texture and color to mixed borders, prairie gardens, or mass plantings. Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, this low-maintenance grass thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating drought and poor soil conditions once established. With its ever-changing foliage and graceful form, Chameleon Little Bluestem adds dynamic beauty and visual interest to landscapes throughout the seasons, making it a prized addition to garden designs.
