When to plant little bluestem

Little bluestem is a warm-season perennial bunchgrass established from seed or nursery plugs in spring. NC State notes you cut it back to the ground in late winter or early spring to promote fresh growth, so set out new plants as that spring growth begins.

Little Bluestem is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
