Panicum virgatum 'Red Flame' Switch Grass is highly valued for its ability to add movement and visual interest to gardens, as the graceful foliage and swaying seed heads sway in the breeze. This native American grass variety showcases an upright and clumping growth habit, forming dense tufts of narrow, green-blue arching foliage that transition from green to stunning shades of red as the season progresses. Moreover, 'Red Flame' is known for its durability, thriving in a wide range of soil conditions, including both dry and wet areas. In late summer airy panicles emerge as the flowers of 'Red Flame'.
