WINDWALKER big bluestem (Andropogon gerardii 'P003S') is an upright ornamental grass selected for its powdery blue foliage that turns plum/purple in September when burgundy plumes wave high in the air. The columnar form makes it ideal for both residential and commercial applications. WINDWALKER big bluestem plays well in combinations with SONORAN SUNSET Agastache, Russian sage or VERMILION BLUFFS Mexican sage. Selected by Sunscapes Nursery—a long time Plant Select cooperator. Other benefits: Good for containers, deer resistant, attracts pollinators, and is a selection of a North American native.
