Description

Big Bluestem (Andropogon gerardii) is a perennial warm-season native prairie grass species that provides excellent erosion control.

  • The plant’s seed head spikelets have a high yield potential.
  • It provides shelter and nourishment to small mammals, insects, and birds with its leafy base.
  • While it persists under grazing, the plant can become aggressive.
  • It can handle heavy foot traffic, but it prefers full sun locations.
