Blackhawks Big Blue Stem is a perennial grass known for its tall, upright habit and its dark purple to nearly black foliage in the fall. In late summer, it produces purplish flower spikes that add to its visual appeal. This plant is quite adaptable and can grow in a variety of conditions, but it prefers full sun and well-drained soil. It's also drought-tolerant, making it a good choice for gardens in drier climates.

One of the great things about Blackhawks Big Blue Stem is that it provides excellent winter interest and is a great source of food for birds during the colder months. It's also resistant to deer, making it a good choice for a wildlife-friendly garden.

More Durable Than Most
My puppy likes this. He ripped up the stuffing pretty quickly but the rope innards are strong. Both a tug toy and chew. I would prefer it unstuffed so 4 ⭐️ instead of 5.

My dogs favorite toy
Color: Ropiez Dragon
The dragon is pretty durable but I will say my dog chews off the horn the first chance she gets. There is no stuffing except for the horn. Holds up well in a tug of war and play. For an average to moderate aggressive dog it hold up for awhile. It’s not indestructible it will tear.

Very cute toy
I THOUGHT IT WOUKD BE BIGGER. it's about the size of 24 oz water bottle. Kinda small in my opinion. The dogs loved it but I've had it a week and it's already torn apart....my dogs are only about 3 months old so not very strong yet, so I would say it's like mid quality. I'll probably just sew the seam back together and call it good tbh.

My yorkie destroyed
It says it’s very durable so that’s why I bought it although the body and ropes are good the ears on the horse came off in the first day with my small dog so be careful with the ears and other looser things on the animals. The rope untied many times as well not a big deal I just knotted it back but she still loves this toy so it’s okay I’m my book just watch for ripping of ears and other parts on the head of this toy
