Description

Andropogon ternarius (Poaceae)
(an-dro-PO-gon ter-NAR-ee-us)
Splitbeard Bluestem

Native grass found in fields across the Eastern half of the US. Similar to Little Bluestem, but grows up to 3′ with a 2′ spread. Summer foliage of narrow, glaucous, blue-green leaves, turning copper, red and bronze in the fall. From late summer through fall, fluffy silver seedheads catch the sun and can often persist into winter, making this a great winter-interest plant. Tufted stems are nice in flower arrangements. A great choice for a small-scale meadow or prairie. Prefers hot dry sites with poor soil.

Bloom color: silver
Bloom period: late-summer
Height: 2-3′
Spread: 2′
Zones: 6-9
