Panicum virgatum 'Rotstrahlbusch' (Red Switch Grass)

Panicum virgatum 'Rotstrahlbusch', commonly known as Red Switch Grass, is a vibrant perennial grass that provides a stunning display of color in the landscape. The foliage emerges with a deep green color in spring, but as summer progresses, it transforms into a striking reddish-purple hue. In the fall, the foliage turns a beautiful shade of coppery-orange. This grass produces delicate, airy panicles of reddish-brown flowers in late summer. Red Switch Grass is a clumping grass that adds texture and movement to garden beds and is highly attractive to birds.
