Schizachyrium scoparium Twilight Zone PP 27432 Zaire highlighted with a central bandWe 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.
