Subject Headings:
Describes little bluestem as being a major component of maritime grasslands, as it mixes beautifully with the colors and textures of common sedge, and some wildflowers. It is a warm-season grass native throughout most of the United States and Canada, and some benefits are that a short native grass such as this require no pesticides or irrigation and only occasional mowing. Includes: Preparing the seedbed (Analyze the suitability of the site, Prepare the soil and control weeds); Seeding (Hydroseeding and drill seeding, Hand broadcasting, Seeding rates); When to plant (Planting divisions, sod, and plugs); Managing a native lawn.
