  • Attractive grass changes color throughout the season
  • Tall & narrow form for dramatic impact
  • An easy, low-maintenance native

A superb grass for beds, borders, and cottage gardens. The leaf blades are red-tipped. It really begins to show off earlier than other ornamental grasses, and the dark green foliage color deepens to a rich, dark maroon as the season progresses. Big bluestem is an important member of the tallgrass prairie ecosystem of North America.

Homeowner Growing Tips: Grow in full sun in average soil to poor soils. Overly moist or fertile soils can lead to a floppy habit. Tolerant of dry conditions, once established. Cut to the ground in late winter. May re-seed occasionally under ideal conditions.
