Andropogon scoparius ‘Prairie Blues’ is an ornamental perennial grass highly prized for its steel-blue foliage, which takes on beautiful copper, orange, and purple hues in autumn. It forms upright, airy clumps, with discreet flowering in bronze-silver spikes between late summer and early autumn.

Features

It is ideal for dry gardens, Mediterranean flower beds, sunny borders and naturalistic gardens, where it adds verticality, movement and strong seasonal interest while requiring very little maintenance. It pairs perfectly with other grasses such as Panicum and Pennisetum, and with full-sun perennials such as Gaura, Salvia, Achillea and Perovskia, creating harmonious, bright and highly drought-tolerant combinations.

Between late summer and early autumn, from August to October, it produces a modest display of bronze-silver flower spikes. The steel-blue foliage turns copper, orange, and purple in autumn.

Loves full sun and is perfect in dry gardens. Very resistant to drought and cold (down to -20°C), it requires very little maintenance.

It pairs perfectly with other grasses such as Panicum and Pennisetum, and full-sun perennials such as Gaura, Salvia, Achillea and Perovskia.

WHAT MAKES OUR PLANTS DIFFERENT

Long anti-spiraling vases

A traditional lawn is a fragile monoculture: it drinks thousands of liters of water every summer, needs mowing every week, and turns yellow as soon as you neglect it. An alternative lawn turns this logic on its head: instead of grasses, we use Mediterranean groundcovers selected in our nursery—low, dense, and hardy plants, born for hot and dry climates.

The result is a green, walkable carpet that blooms for months, withstands drought, salt spray, and frost, and reduces watering and maintenance by 80%. It is not an aesthetic compromise: it is a more beautiful, more vibrant lawn that is more honest with the environment.
