Big bluestem is a tall, native prairie grass with a distinctive, three-parted seedhead in summer. Its deep roots provide excellent erosion control. The greenish blue leaves and stems change to reddish-copper color for a nice winter appearance. Big bluestem attracts butterflies, songbirds, game birds, and deer. Price is per ounce of seed. Available year-round.
