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.
