Dancing Wind Bluestem is a narrow upright clump-forming native grass grown for its attractive foliage that emerges soft blue-green in spring, turns yellow-green with red accents into summer, then turns to fully red or deep scarlet in fall. The turkey-foot shaped seed heads emerge red in late summer and tan as they age. Grows best in full sun and well-drained soils. Drought tolerant.
