Bring dramatic color and native resilience to your landscape with Andropogon gerardii ‘Black Hawks’, a striking selection of North American big bluestem. This ornamental grass forms a strong, upright clump of steely blue-green foliage that deepens through the season into rich shades of burgundy, deep purple, and near-black, especially in full sun.

In late summer to early fall, elegant, dark flowering stems rise above the foliage, adding movement and texture while providing excellent interest well into winter. Exceptionally drought tolerant, heat loving, and low maintenance, ‘Black Hawks’ thrives in a wide range of soils and supports native wildlife, including birds and pollinators.
