About This Grass

This warm season grass emerges with blue-green foliage before turning almost completely a striking wine red by summer's end. Compared with older varieties like 'Shenandoah', 'Red Flame' has a greater saturation of red colour on each leaf and incredible vigor. Use this grass for its colour, texture, and durability in the landscape.

Switch grass gets its name from the soft swishing sound it makes when blowing in the wind. All parts of this grass will remain standing thru winter unless snows are heavy. This provides important cover for birds during the coldest days of winter. This grass is very versatile from a design standpoint; it is effective as a specimen, in masses, for screening, alongside ponds or streams, or even in large containers.
