Little Bluestem

Pending NPSOT review

The backbone bunchgrass of the upland mix and 15% of the PUB blend. Fresh, local-ecotype seed establishes readily by no-till drill. Copper fall color is the tell that a stand has taken.

StatusA working first pass, being reconciled against NPSOT and USDA PLANTS. Corrections welcome at [email protected].
