It definitely does come from seed, but loses the virus that makes it compact and gives it the variegation. It cam be overwintered in a cool, sunny, dryish greenhouse. It will drop its leaves, only to revive in the spring when the weather breaks.

wantanamara, its just common blue grama, probably from seeds you sent me or else seeds I got at the History Museum. I keep trying to get new plants started, I love it. I visited the Museum today. They killed out all that mixed prairie grass growing on that hill of big rocks that I had admired so much, looks like they sprayed everything except the Muhly riverchonii. All the others were just dried up cut back dead grasses. I couldn't believe it! I plan to go back later on to see if they replace it with some other plants. No way its winter kill, that grass is too tough. In another area, they have large drifts of Little Bluestem and I don't know what kind it is but its extremely tall for a bluestem, the old seed heads from last year easily came up to my chest and the stalks are more than twice the height of the leaves, very blue, anywhere from powder blue to steel blue and has thinner leaves than other types. I found a few strays I saved from the weed whacker. You guys, thanks for the nice comments but except for the flame flowers all those plants are from seeds that came from Texas, its stuff grows wild in abundance on the roadsides. Roadsides are great for getting seeds, its a matter of "organization and selection" Wantanamara has great weeds on her property and its the common stuff I collect mostly, nursery's don't carry it because its considered common weeds. My eyeballs are constantly on the lookout for any interesting possibilities and they are everywhere. There is a large white prairie clover plant I just marked out last weekend for later seed gathering here. The thing looks like one of those perfect big white fireworks displays on the 4th of July. Btw, Oklahoma is third in its #'s of varieties native plants, just after Texas and California in the US. I read that this week online. I just ran across a teeny tiny form of stiff wiry grass, actually I think its a carex of some kind, cuter than a button with itty bitty brown seeds on top of those impossibly thin stems that stand up perfectly forming little upside down cone shaped plants that are about 4" tall. I have a little cluster started. This post was edited by TexasRanger10 on Thu, Jun 26, 14 at 3:40

I got 3 more of the Big Bluestem 'Red October' because I'm so happy with the one I bought last fall, its stiff with upright leaves. Its already showing color and has deep musky purple stems and turkey feet forming. I figure to really see the color I need more than one plant in the spot. SRG had them marked down but they are back to full price now, I barely got the order in on time. I'm re-doing an area with these planted along with several very tall Little Bluestem I started from seeds I collected here. The bluestem is as tall as the turkey foot this year but I'm expecting the turkey foot to get to its full size when the plants are more mature. There are several new cultivars of Big Bluestem coming out, some nice blue ones but its the dark green that give the red/maroon fall coloring. I like the idea of it contrasting with the light blue Little Bluestem. I also bought Euphorbia 'Ascot Rainbow' to bring the total order up to enough to get the 35% off discount. Andropogon gerardii 'Red October' Close by the Bluestem is an area I'm taking out a large lantana and replacing with these three I have ordered from High Country Gardens. I also ordered a Pawnee Buttes Sand Cherry and a Curly Cue Artemisia. The whole place has gone grass landscape with massed areas I'm working on for definition. Its taking me a while to get this grass landscaping thing down but I'm getting there. Indian Grass 'Thin Man'
