Additional Information: Big Bluestem, often called the "King of the Prairie," is a tall, warm-season grass that serves as a cornerstone species in prairie ecosystems. Its name, "Turkey Foot," comes from the shape of its seed head, which resembles a bird's foot. This grass provides essential cover and food for wildlife, including birds and small mammals. Its deep root system makes it highly drought-tolerant and effective at stabilizing soil, reducing erosion, and improving water infiltration. In autumn, Big Bluestem takes on stunning shades of reddish-bronze, adding seasonal beauty to the landscape. Big Bluestem is an excellent choice for prairie restorations, native grass gardens, and landscapes aiming to support biodiversity while adding vertical interest and movement.
