Q:
I have heard that Big Bluestem is a bit likely to flop in more enriched urban landscapes, and that there are cultivars/nativars that are less susceptible to this problem. Can you help?
Asked by:

A:
They are more likely to flop in rich soil where they don't have other plants to help support them. We do not sell any big bluestem cultivars/nativars, so I am unfamiliar with them and can't give you any advice about which one is best suited for your project.
