About Big Bluestem Grass and growing it in Alberta
Its foliage shifts from striking blue-green in summer to rich copper-red tones in fall, adding multi-season appeal. Ideal for erosion control, meadows, and urban landscapes, it supports wildlife, requires little maintenance, and forms deep, extensive roots. It may self-seed and is somewhat prone to rust and leaf spot.
