Bluestem Seed
Bluestem Seed
Big Bluestem is tolerant of a wide range of soils and moistures. Depending on soil and moisture conditions, it grows to a height of 3 – 10 ft. The stem base turns to a blue-purple as it matures. The seed heads have three spike-like projections, resulting in another common name for Big Bluestem "turkey foot." The roots are deep, and the plants send out strong, tough rhizomes, so it forms very strong sod.
