Andropogon capillipes is a species of grass known by the common name chalky bluestem. It is native to the southeastern United States as far west as Texas.[2]
This perennial grass grows 3 to 5 feet tall. The leaf blades are folded, the longest reaching 25 inches long. The plant is coated in a chalky residue that easily rubs off.[3]
This species is used for grazing livestock. It grows easily on wet, sandy, mucky substrates and it can be used to prevent erosion.[3]
Cultivars of this species include 'Valdosta Blue', which is used as an ornamental grass.[4]
