Andropogon gerardii

Big bluestem is a perennial bunch grass that forms large clumps. It normally grows to 5-7 ft in height, but under ideal conditions can get more than 8 ft tall. The habit is fairly upright, and not as arching as some ornamental grasses. Look for the blue color at the base of the stems. The stems and leaves are blue-green in early summer, developing reddish tinges as they mature. The plants turn a rich copper or orange-brown in autumn and develop an overall reddish or burgundy cast after frost.

This has to be one of my favorites, 24 to 30” tall blue-foliage, heat tolerant, great fall color, what’s not to love? Looks great as an accent plant or in drifts. Can be custom grown in deep 38’s and 2¼” plugs, or any size your project may need.
