Red Flame Switchgrass

Panicum virgatum Red Flame (Switch Grass) will set your garden ablaze in late summer. This warm season grass emerges with blue-green foliage before turning almost completely wine-red by summers end. Its upright, clump-forming habit makes an excellent choice for adding vertical interest to garden beds, borders, and naturalized areas.

Red Flame is highly durable and adaptable, thriving in a range of soil types and conditions. It is drought-tolerant once established and can withstand both heat and humidity, making it a low-maintenance option for gardeners. P. virgatum appreciates regular deep watering but will survive dry summers as it is moderately xeric. has context menu
