This iconic prairie grass features tall, blue-green foliage that turns a coppery-red in autumn. Its three-pronged seed heads resemble a turkey's foot and provide winter interest and height.

Plant Big Bluestem in early spring or fall. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained soil. Space plants 18-24 inches apart. Water regularly until established, then reduce frequency as it is drought-tolerant. Fertilize lightly in early spring if needed. Cut back old growth in late winter or early spring to encourage new growth.
