Common Name: “Switch Grass”
(Red Switch Grass) Panicum 'Cheyenne Sky' PPAF offers a relaxing, soft rustling sound as it sways in the breeze and adds great visual interest in the landscape. From Amber Wave Gardens, this red switch grass forms a tight, v-shaped, 3 foot, clump of blue-green foliage that turns wine red in early summer. By late summer the plant is almost totally saturated in color and forms wine red flower clusters. A very versatile grass, 'Cheyenne Sky' PPAF is great in containers, mass plantings, or can stand alone and is sturdy enough to withstand the cold winter unless the snow is too heavy. This Switch Grass makes an excellent addition to Proven Winners® Perennials.
