Panicum virgatum

Switch Grass

This perennial ornamental grass forms a dense, upright clump, adding height and movement to beds, meadows, and contemporary gardens. Its light green foliage gradually turns red-orange in autumn, providing a colorful seasonal display. The airy panicles rise above the foliage, starting pink-red and turning beige in autumn, adding lightness and texture to the garden. For maintenance, cut back the dry foliage to a few centimeters above the ground in early spring to encourage vigorous growth. A light mulch around the base protects the roots during winter and helps retain soil moisture.
