Bring prairie texture to your garden with Schizachyrium scoparium 'Ha Ha Tonka' (Little Bluestem 'Ha Ha Tonka'). This clump-forming ornamental grass has fine, softly hairy, blue-green foliage that catches the light and looks slightly hazy from a distance.

As summer fades, airy flower and seed heads rise above the foliage and the whole plant shifts to rich copper, orange, and bronzy tones that hold well into winter. Leave the stems standing for cold-season structure and habitat, then cut back in late winter to early spring before new growth starts.

You will get the best color and the strongest, most upright habit in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established it handles dry spells well and adapts to lean, rocky, or sandy soils without needing heavy feeding. Avoid soggy, poorly drained sites.

Use it in borders, meadow-style plantings, and native gardens, or mass it for movement. The seeds provide food for birds, and the plant supports pollinators as a host and shelter.
