Narrative
Plants comparable in phenology and rated above the average for vigor, leafiness, seed production, and disease resistance. The goal in plant selection was not to specifically select a few outstanding plants, but to instead select a diverse group of representative little bluestem ecotypes that would have a broad genetic base to facilitate adaptation to the harsh sites typical to this species. This extensive genetic variation is desirable when establishing native plantings and range seedings where species longevity and adaptation to the climatic extremes of the Northern Great Plains is an essential conservation goal.
