The broad foliage of the Prairie Winds® Niagara Falls Switch Grass gently arches and bends, creating a full and mounded appearance. The Panicum virgatum boasts green leaves with a slight blue tint for added dimension and interest. During late summer, brown flowers bloom on tall stems and create a cloud-like haze over the foliage. By fall, the flowers transition into cream-colored seed heads.

This stately plant can anchor a bed or create a robust border. Prairie Winds® Niagara Falls Switch Grass is native, so it requires very little care once it has acclimated. The lovely arching foliage is deer-resistant and salt-tolerant for placement near coastal areas or roadways. Grow this plant as a perennial in USDA zones 4 through 9.

Prairie Winds® Niagara Falls Switch Grass Care

Plant this lovely grass in full sun because it needs at least 6 hours of sunlight to thrive. Switch Grass is drought-tolerant, but water when the top few inches of soil dry out for continued growth. Plant in rich, moist, but well-drained soil. Apply a balanced fertilizer during the spring to support new growth.

The foliage will stay in place year-round. Dead or damaged growth can be removed at any time, but dethatch in the spring before new growth appears.

Prairie Winds® Niagara Falls Switch Grass Spacing

This beauty will grow 48 inches tall, and the arching foliage will spread out over an area 48 inches wide. Plant Switchgrass 48 inches apart when creating a continuous planting

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)

We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die. Hungry animals, drought, poor soil conditions, over watering, diseases & pests are all good examples of what can cause plants to die. The Plant Addicts Warranty is a 1 year warranty protecting you from all of the unknowns and will replace your plant if something were to happen to it.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability). We may ask for photos for documentation purposes, but we try to make the process as easy as possible.

Guarantee and Warranty

Plant Shipping

Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.

Winter to Early Spring

We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.

Summer

If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.

Fall into Winter

We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!

Winter

Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!

Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
