Big Bluestem Plant

The Monarch of the Prairie!

The most widely distributed of all the prairie grasses, it was largely responsible for the formation of the famous prairie sod. The distinctive three-parted seedheads resemble a turkey foot. Lush green leaves and stems change with the first frost to an attractive red-bronze color that provides landscape interest well into the winter. Grows in almost any soil, from wet clay to dry sand. Hardy to Zone 3.
