Little Blue Stem, Schizachyrium scoparium.  USDA zones 3-8.

An attractive native bunchgrass, the slender blue-green leaves have a purplish tint at the base during spring and summer. In autumn, the foliage changes to vibrant shades of mahogany-red, copper, bronze, and orange. Silvery-white, fluffy seed heads persist through the winter.
Grows 2 to 4 feet tall, forms dense clumps 2-3 feet wide.
Best in full sun, does well in a variety of soils, though does not like constantly wet areas. Highly resistant to drought, heat, salt, urban conditions, and deer.
It serves as a larval host plant for various skipper and wood nymph butterflies. The seeds are consumed by songbirds and small mammals, and the dense clumps offer nesting material and cover.

These are sold as plugs, from a 50 plug tray, and are sized about 1.5" x 1.5" x5" deep.
