Andropogon gerardii

  • Product number: 670060
  • Origin: North America
  • Latin: Andropogon gerardii

A fine grass to "weave" between other tall plants, its fluffy inflorescence stands like a flag at the top, reaching a height of 1.5-2 m. The branched inflorescence resembles turkey feet, which explains its English name. This attractive ornamental grass is drought-tolerant and establishes very well. In autumn, the leaves turn copper-brown to deep purple, a warm ripening phase... In spring, you cut the plant back completely, and growth can begin again!
