Panicum virgatum ‘Samurai’
Red Switch Grass |
USDA Zone: 4-9 |
Plant number: 8.290.500
Another Canadian introduction, this Switch Grass develops outstanding foliage colour. It forms an upright, slightly vase-shaped mound of blue-green leaves, the tips developing red tones by midsummer that get better through the autumn. Foliage is somewhat more blue than P. ‘Blood Brothers'. Sprays of small reddish flowers develop into tan seedhead by late fall. Remains sturdy and attractive well into winter. Great in a sunny border.
