Panicum Red Flame

(Switch Grass) 

Zone 4.

1GALLON POT

Switch Grass is one of the easiest and most attractive ornamental grasses, with no tendency to spread or become troublesome. Usually attractive in the garden all winter long.   Flowers are good for cutting, fresh or dried.  Trim back to the ground in early spring.  Drought tolerant once established. A boldly colored grass with native roots, 'Red Flame' is primed to set your garden ablaze in late summer. This warm season grass emerges with blue-green foliage before turning almost completely wine red by summer's end. Compared with classic varieties like 'Shenandoah', 'Red Flame' has a greater saturation of red color on each leaf and incredible vigor. Use this grass for its color, texture, and durability in the landscape. 

Full sun. Reddish plumes on green/red foliage in August. 3'H x 24"W.
