Schizachyrium scoparium 'Chameleon' pbr

Common Name:
Little Bluestem 'Chameleon'

Description:
Schizachyrium scoparium 'Chameleon' is a striking ornamental grass known for its vibrant, colour-changing foliage. This compact, clump-forming perennial features blue-green leaves that transition to shades of pink, purple, and creamy white as the seasons change. In late summer to autumn, delicate, feathery seed heads emerge, adding a soft, airy texture to the landscape. 'Chameleon' is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and thrives in well-drained soils, making it an excellent choice for borders, mass planting, rock gardens, and mixed perennial beds. This variety is also highly resistant to pests and diseases, adding year-round visual appeal to Melbourne gardens with minimal care.
