Little bluestem is a strong, long-lived native bunchgrass, widely distributed over the United States; but most common in the Central and Southern Great Plains. It is usually found associated with big bluestem native grass. It is more drought resistant that big bluestem and a smaller plant - usually not reaching over 3 feet. Leaves are up to 8 inches long, and not over 1/4 inches wide. It furnishes dependable grazing and cured hay, but is not pleasant to eat. It is especially valuable for erosion control.
