Big Bluestem
Andropogon gerardii
Known as the “Monarch of the Prairie Grasses,” Big Bluestem is one of the tallest native ornamental grasses, featuring lush green foliage that matures to vibrant orange and copper-red tones in fall. Upright clumps produce airy tan plumes from late summer into early fall, adding movement and texture to landscapes. Best grown in full sun with well-drained soil, Big Bluestem is perfect for prairie-style plantings, naturalized areas, and striking vertical accents.
