{"product_id":"perennial-big-bluestem-grass-blackhawks","title":"Blackhawks Big Bluestem Grass","description":"\u003cp\u003eThough prairie plants have enjoyed a surge of interest from gardeners across the country in recent years, development of improved garden forms of such plants has lagged behind. \u003cstrong\u003eBlackhawks Big Bluestem Grass\u003c\/strong\u003e (\u003cem\u003eAndropogon gerardii\u003c\/em\u003e 'Blackhawks') represents a leap forward for this process. These grasses emerge in late-spring as understated, dark green tufts of foliage. By mid-summer, foliage on these grasses darkens quickly to a smoky purple and plants begin to grow taller to flower. By late summer, 'Blackhawks' becomes unmistakable, with deep, merlot leaves, stems, and seedheads; there's truly nothing like this grass. Despite their center-stage presence, 'Blackhawks' plants remain true to their durable prairie roots, thriving with little more than sun, and deep, occasional waterings in most kinds of soils. A tip for success: while Big Bluestem is exceptionally cold-hardy, it is most vigorous when summer temperatures regularly exceed the lower-80s in summer, F; may not thrive in mountain gardens that remain cool all summer.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"High Country Gardens","offers":[{"title":"Plant - 5\" Deep Pot","offer_id":54036077740325,"sku":"HC020114","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/4451\/2037\/files\/blackhawks-big-bluestem-grass-1.jpg?v=1793042089","url":"https:\/\/www.highcountrygardens.com\/products\/perennial-big-bluestem-grass-blackhawks","provider":"High Country Gardens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
