Panicum virgatum

Switch grass is a beautiful grass at all times, but it really comes into its own in late summer into winter. The 30” (plus or minus) seed heads will turn a lovely shade of yellow/orange and are held aloft by very stout stems that can support a surprising am … ount of snow. This plant is at home on the edges of moist areas of all kinds throughout the area. It can become aggressive on wetter sites, but this can be desirable. Beware of the many, many selections of the Panicum genus because some of them do not hold their color well. Add to Wishlist Add to Wishlist Read More +
