Schizachyrium scoparium
Schizachyrium scoparium, commonly known as little bluestem or beard grass, is a North American perennial bunchgrass. Little bluestem grows to a typical height of 3 feet. Although it has a blue tint in the spring, in fall, its predominant color is more red, which color it may retain throughout winter into spring.
Prominent in tallgrass prairie; prefers well-drained sunny sites.
Spotted growing near West Loop parking lot at Pine Mountain Recreation Area
