Schizachyrium scoparium 'Standing Ovation'
Choose Standing Ovation Little Bluestem if you want a native grass with upright structure for sunny, lean spots; the tradeoff is it will not give you a solid screen or lush, shade-garden look.
Buy This If
- You want upright native grass.
- Your site runs dry.
- You like fall color.
Skip This If
- You need a hedge.
- Your soil stays soggy.
- You want broad foliage.
PGNE Report Card
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives strong vertical texture and good seasonal color without taking over the bed. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It establishes quickly for a warm-season native grass when planted in the right exposure. |
| Maintenance | A- | Plan on a cutback before new spring growth, but otherwise it asks for very little. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | B+ | Its upright habit makes it easier to place than wider, arching grasses. |
| Screening Value | D | It adds movement and texture, but it is too open and seasonal to act as a real screen. |
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this for sunny native beds, driveway edges, and dry slopes where structure matters more than bulk.

Customers Usually Ask
Does it flop?
Less than many little bluestems; its main selling point is the upright habit.
Should I cut it back?
Yes, cut old stems down before new spring growth starts.
Is it good for mass planting?
Yes, it looks best repeated in groups rather than used as one lonely clump.
Why buy for fall color
- See the actual color before you buy it
- Foliage, berries and late bloom — all three seasons of interest
- Fall planting means roots established before winter
