Red Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum 'Red Flame') |
Have Grasses |
Winter Interest A long-lived perennial grass typically grows 40" tall, slowly spreading by short rhizomes in all directions. "Switch grass gets its name from the peaceful swishing sound it makes when blowing in the wind. All parts of this grass are very sturdy, and will remain standing thru winter unless snows are heavy. This provides important cover for birds during the coldest days of winter. This grass is very versatile from a design standpoint; it is effective as a specimen, in masses, for screening, alongside ponds or streams, or even in large containers." https://www.waltersgardens.com... Cut back to just above soil level in late winter before new growth emerges. Emerges late spring with blue-green foliage before turning almost completely wine red by summer's end. Propagate by division after grow emerges and up to one foot tall. https://hort.extension.wisc.ed... |
