Andropogon - Big Bluestem

Big Bluestem is the dominant grass of the tall-grass prairie, the moister areas of the Great Plains. A 4’—6′ clump-forming grass that gets off to a slow start each spring. Has grey-green leaves turning bronze-red in autumn, and airy purplish flowers shaped like a turkey-foot. Some found in eastern Saskatchewan.
