Big Bluestem

Andropogon gerardiiShort’s Resort Field Station

Pending NPSOT review

Tallgrass signature, 10% of the mix. Fluffy seed drills best debearded. Slow to bulk up but long-lived and deep-rooted once it settles in — the "turkeyfoot" seedhead is unmistakable.

StatusA working first pass, being reconciled against NPSOT and USDA PLANTS. Corrections welcome through the repository.
