Schizachyrium scoparium Chameleon PP 31339

Schizachyrium 'Chameleon' is one of the very few native ornamental grasses with variegated foliage. This amazing selection of little bluestem comes from French Nurseryman, Thierry Delabroye, who discovered it as a seedling of Schizachyrium scoparium 'The Blues'. The glaucous foliage is edged with a standout creamy border, reducing its size to 18" tall in foliage and 2' tall in flower. As the weather cools, the foliage also takes on a reddish pink overlay...scrumptious! For those who'd prefer not to mangle the name vocally, try saying Skizzy-carry-um.
