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.
