It tolerates the challenging root zone of black walnut trees, a quality that opens up garden areas that many other perennials simply won’t handle.

Big Bluestem, a native grass of the Midwestern prairie, has been rediscovered as a useful and beautiful landscape plant. Drought tolerant and easy to maintain, it is a natural choice for prairie, meadow and naturalistic plantings. But, Andropogon gerardii is also great as a background or accent in mixed plantings. Big Bluestem is especially interesting when in bloom - its curiously shaped seed heads resemble upside-down turkey feet.

There’s a quiet magic to Little Bluestem, a clumping native grass that shifts with the seasons and brings effortless movement to the garden. Through summer its fine, upright blades stand in cool blue-green tufts, then ignite in fall to a tapestry of copper, burgundy, and gold that lingers well into winter. Native to the tallgrass prairies of the Midwest, it thrives in full sun and asks for very little—low water and lean soil suit it perfectly once established. Reaching two to three feet tall, it’s ideal massed across a slope for erosion control or woven through a naturalized border for texture and light. Songbirds flock to its seed heads through the colder months, while deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Plant it in generous drifts where the low sun can backlight its foliage—that’s when it truly glows.

Compact at 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, it settles easily into the front of a shade bed or tucks neatly along a pathway as an accent. It asks only for moderate moisture and is wonderfully resilient—typically avoided by deer and untroubled by rabbits, insects, or disease. It even shrugs off the juglone cast by black walnut trees, making it a smart choice for those tricky spots where little else will thrive. Pair it with chartreuse hostas or silver-leaved companions to let its plum tones really sing.
