Description

Native to North America, Panicum (or 'Switch Grass') is another valuable addition to grass borders and 'Prairie' planting schemes; less so because of its fine foliage (which in the case of this unusually named variety is metallic blue-grey turning to yellow in autumn), but more due to the 'fountain-like' habit of its arching flower stems and attractively weeping panicles of tiny purplish flowers.
