Ornamental grasses are putting on quite a show here in August. Personally, there is one ornamental grass that is a standout above all other grasses. It is SCHIZACHYRIUM ‘STANDING OVATION’ or commonly called “Little Bluestem.” The name is very fitting for this grass because it does stand out amongst all other grasses.
Little Bluestem is a native cultivar to North America. It was discovered in Pennsylvania and is hardy from zones 3 to 8 (we are zone 7 in Central Virginia).
Here are some more interesting tidbits with Standing Ovation:
Once you come to see this grass you will fall in love with it as I have this year. And, as a surprise bonus, all of our Ornamental Grasses are on sale now through the 15th.
HAPPY AUGUST GARDENING!!!!
I enjoy all the information you post and it has been very helpful. I would like to see some info printed on all the bug/diseases due to the very wet summer. I found out that Hibiscus like certain bug sprays, and my mandevillas also do not like certain sprays. All my plants need some bug control. I wonder is there a drench that may work for all? or at least the majority of annuals?
I have discovered that something has eaten the leaves of my red twig dogwood, but nothing else in the yard seems to be bothered. Any ideas , so I can be proactive next year.
The same thing happened to my red twig dogwood. The deer ate it! Another one bites the dust 🙁
