Forming an upright grassy clump to 4 feet tall and 2 to 3 feet wide, its foliage emerges light blue in the spring, developing pink and burgundy shades in summer. With the arrival of cool fall temperatures, the foliage turns to lovely copper hues, turning tan color through winter. It is an elegant accent in small garden spaces and containers and is stunning in groupings or drifts where space allows. The upright flower stems stay sturdy through the winter, even in snow, providing added interest, shelter, and food for the birds. Highly adaptable and super-hardy, it thrives in moist to dry soils. It tolerates drought, heat, and harsh, cold conditions (-40F), making it suitable for growing almost anywhere in the United States (USDA Zones 3-9). You might be happy to know the deer leave it alone. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBlue Heaven® is a naturally occurring hybrid of Schizachyrium scoparium selected by the University of Minnesota-St. Paul. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWildlife Value\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eBluestem grasses provide excellent cover year-round for wildlife.
