Big Bluestem is gorgeous all throughout the growing season and provides a home to many beneficial insects. It’s really good for erosion control, but it can be a little aggressive with growing. It’s so hardy and drought tolerant that it can even bounce back from fire thanks to the rhizomes underground.
