Big Bluestem is a warm season grass; it actively grows during the summer when soil temperatures are warm. It is a big plant, getting over six feet tall in most situations.  In a landscape it can be used as an accent.  It has great fall color in the range of gold and pink.  So well-known as a 'must have' in any tallgrass prairie and a native range of most of North America, 'Big Blue' really has no other common names in use.
