Andropogon gerardii ‘Blackhawks’ is a robust cultivar of Big Bluestem, a warm-season native grass valued for its tall, upright form and dramatic blue-green leaves that turn rich red and orange in fall. Growing 5 to 7 feet tall, it provides excellent vertical texture and movement in prairie-style gardens, meadows, or large-scale naturalized areas. Blackhawks thrives in full sun and adapts well to a variety of soils, including dry and poor soils, making it a resilient and low-maintenance choice for sustainable landscapes.
