Big Bluestem Grass Helps With Erosion Control
On agricultural properties of all sizes, both over-foraging and farming result in barren lands that are prone to erosion damage. This plant, which is also known as turkeyfoot or bluejoint, prevents erosion as it grows. Specifically, it has tough rhizomes that grow deep and strengthen the soil. In addition, as the plant grows, it becomes an expansive ground cover as well to further prevent erosion.
Help With Wildlife Shelter At TN Nursery
While this perennial plant is often used on larger agricultural properties to feed cattle and horses, it also attracts wildlife to yards. Everything from deer to wild turkeys and other animals seek shelter and food in the grasslands. Because this plant thrives in arid conditions that many others cannot grow in, it is suitable for maintaining animal populations.
Enhances Aesthetics With This Perennial Grass
This is a type that can grow almost 10 feet tall in suitable environments, and its tall blades transform into lovely shades of blue or purple as it grows. When the plant goes dormant in the fall, it has a reddish hue until it is revived in early spring. The term turkeyfoot describes the appearance of spiky racemes on the stalks. From a distance, the plant's blades sway beautifully in the wind to create a mesmerizing, colorful look.
It is a smart option for covering wide open spaces in your yard or across your grounds; it is also often used as a border plant. When it lines the edge of a property, its height and thickness make it a perfect natural division. For those in search of a great alternative to a fence, this plant should be considered.
