(48-60” tall x 12-24” wide) Grasses bring movement, color and wildlife to the garden, and ‘Blackhawks’ Big Bluestem also brings style. With a strongly upright profile and a color that deepens with each passing day, ‘Blackhawks’ Big Bluestem is a fabulous cultivar of one of our best native prairie grasses from Intrinsic Perennials. Showing off deep purple to black leaves throughout the summer season, ‘Blackhawks’ can be used alone as a specimen plant or incorporated into a meadow or garden bed with beautiful results. In winter, the color turns into a burnt sienna, and the grass stands tall, bringing architectural interest to frosty gardens. Plant ‘Blackhawks’ Big Bluestem in average soils in full sun for best results. Overly rich soil will cause this grass to flop. A deer and rabbit resistant perennial grass to enjoy for many years!
