Field Notes

Notes:

Little bluestem is adapted to soils ranging from sandy to
clay-loam in texture. It begins growth in late spring after
cool-season species have already developed. It has been observed that little bluestem phenology
follows a well-defined pattern. Periods of active growth
as well as stage of maturity are directly related to the
length of the growing season.
