The original North American native Switch Grass, Panicum virgatum, commonly called Tall Switch Grass or Panic Grass, is a handsome tall prairie grass that is right at home in residential and commercial landscape all over the country. In summer, large pink-tinged flower spikes rise 2 to 3 feet above and hover over like a cloud over the columnar 4 foot clumps of arching blue-green grassy foliage. Inconspicuous flowers with burgundy anthers dangle from the well-branched panicles followed by shiny, tear drop shaped seeds that develop from single flowered spikelets that persist well into winter for birds to feed on. Foliage turns attractive shades of gold and orange in fall and finally to tan in winter. Exceptionally low maintenance and resistant to deer grazing, drought, erosion, occasional flooding and air pollution this is a beautiful native grass species anyone can grow, and the birds will thank you for planting it!
