‘Dancing Wind’ Big Bluestem was introduced by Intrinsic Perennial Gardens because of its showy red colored seedheads and fall foliage color. Andropogon ‘Dancing Wind’ is a particularly beautiful selection of the grasses that dominate the tall grass prairies because it holds its red color for a long time. The seeds are an important food source for grassland birds, and ‘Dancing Wind’ is impressive in mass plantings.
