Just A Few Mother's Day Gift Ideas
Big Bluestem 'Blackhawks' is a native (to mid-west US) prairie/ornamental grass that is perfect for providing height and color to the garden. The foliage of Blackhawks grass emerges deep green to dark purple in spring and deepens to near black by fall. Dubbed the "monarch of the prairie", this native grass was once the dominant component of the American tall grass prairie.
It adapts easily to a wide range of soil and moisture conditions as long as full sun is provided. This long-lived grass has a variety of uses including screening, naturalizing, restoring prairies, and nesting materials for birds and mammals. It is considered to be drought-tolerant, and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. Best grown in zones 3-9.
At maturity, reaches 4-6" tall and 24 - 36" wide.
Resistant to deer & rabbits. Not considered toxic to pets.
