About Holy Smoke

Bluish green leaves on this cultivar turn green, then gradually become covered with a purple haze until they are steely purple in fall. The stems turn shades of red, coral, hot pink, and burgundy. It’s quite a show, and will be at its best when given full sun.

About Bluestem, Big

Vertical stems in a dense clump. Known for its three-pronged "turkey-foot" seed heads in late summer. From the prairie and savanna, it's drought-tolerant, reliably perennial, and adaptable. Host plant for the caterpillars of arogos skipper, dusted skipper, and Delaware skipper butterflies. Best in lean soil. Emerges in late spring.
