Quick Overview
The Ornamental Grass 'Lord Snowden', Andropogon gerardii 'Lord Snowden', produces striking powder-blue leaf blades. The glistening seed heads turn a golden brown as the season progresses; the three parted seed head resembles a turkey foot. Neglected areas can be graced by 'Lord Snowden's' presence since this grass thrives in dry, hot conditions; tolerates sunny, dry locations as well as freshwater bogs; needs some water during long periods of drought. This low maintenance ornamental grass is outstanding when planted in mass plantings or as an accent plant. Providing great texture, 'Lord Snowden' will be a great addition in your yard all summer, fall, and winter. Instead of installing a fence or planting a row of evergreen soldiers, why not consider planting this tall ornamental grass? If clumps get too large, they can be divided in early spring.
