HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow Big Bluestem grass seeds either in late fall or early spring. Plant the seed just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. Because of their extensive root system, the plants grow rather slowly. This plant grows best in average, well drained soil, though it adapts to nearly any soil type including sand and clay. Though it flourishes in rich soil, it tends to be more upright in poor soil. It tolerates drought well, though watering in extremely dry weather will produce the best growth. This plant self-sows, and resists deer and attracts small birds. It makes an excellent choice for controlling erosion, as well as being ornamental throughout the autumn and winter.
Seed Saving: Collect Andropogon Gerardii seeds as soon as the seed heads turn color and begin to dry; the seed should strip easily from the stem. Spread the seed out in a protected location until it has dried completely. Store Big Bluestem grass seeds in a cool, dry place.

Fast processing and delivery of healthy vibrant seeds.
Great communication and fast delivery
I bought to make into smaller seed packets as a memorial to my grandpa, he loved the bluestem in his pastures and I thought this would be a great way to honor him.
Fast Delivery
They shipped out the order right away and I received it very quickly.!
So happy I found this
I'm thrilled to have found a company who can supply high-quality, native prairie seeds, and who isn't afraid to show pride in their family and faith connections.
Beautiful packaging
The seeds came in 2 days in beautiful resealable foil pouches with planting instructions for each different type of plant on each package. I will order again
Hopeful
The product was easy to order and arrived quickly. I just planted it, so I do not know how quickly it will germinate or turn out, but I am hopeful.
Spring project
Received the seeds in great shape. Looking forward to planting them this spring.
Arrived quick and sprouted
I always do a test of my seeds to make sure they are even viable and sprout before I go through with planting them and waiting. I ordered about 10 different types of prairie grasses (this is one of them), and they all have sprouted nicely, so I know they are good seeds. The shipment arrived very quickly, it only took a couple days from when I ordered. The seeds are packaged very nicely in gold packets. Very happy with the seeds, would order again! (Picture included, the plate did get bumped by my child so the seeds kind of moved on me..)

Big Bluestem
The seeds blasted out of the growing medium within my germination chamber in 3 days! Looks very promising.
Great native grass selection.
First time to order seeds online. Very nice selection of native grasses and you can order smaller or larger packets. I ordered one of each size, happily there was no concern. They arrived in the time stated. Price was reasonable. I plan to return to the site and order more.
Big blue
I order the seed to see if I could dehull the bluestem and was successful now it's time to order more and frost seed hopefully for a thick stand
Everwilde Purchase
Nice company to order through, good prices, would like it better for phone in orders, sometimes difficult to reach customer service.
On-line Purchasing
I was extremely pleased with my on-line purchase of tall grass prairie seeds. My order arrived promptly in hermetically sealed pouches. I will be ordering more seeds from you in the future.
