Additional Information: Bushy Bluestem is a native warm-season grass known for its upright, bushy growth habit and distinctive silvery seed heads that appear in late summer. Unlike many other bluestem species, it thrives in wetter environments such as marshes, ditches, and moist meadows, making it an excellent choice for rain gardens and water-retention areas. In autumn, its foliage and seed heads turn a vibrant copper to reddish-bronze, creating a striking display in the landscape. Bushy Bluestem is highly valued for its ability to stabilize soil, reduce erosion, and provide habitat for birds and other wildlife. Its ornamental appeal and ecological benefits make it a versatile addition to native plantings.
