The Grass Big Bluestem, ‘Andropogon gerardii,’ is a prairie grass native to North America. This grass is sometimes referred to as Turkey Feet, due to the shape of the seed heads. The name Big Bluestem comes from the fact that this grass can become very big, possibly reaching four to seven feet in height. The twelve inch long blades are hairy and ½ inch wide. The leaves will get a slight red tinge as they age, and become bronze in the autumn. This is a very attractive grass that works well for either accent or mass plantings. |
