Commonly called Switchgrass, this upright warm-season clumping Grass actively grows from June into early September, remains green (or glaucous, steely-blue, or streaked with maroon) through hot weather then goes dormant in fall. In winter, plants remain upright and leaf blades curl and fade to buff, topped by stiff stems bearing a halo of airy seed panicles that add drama and texture throughout the cold season. Switchgrass’ ease of care, deer-resistance, tolerance of salt spray, and adaptability to a wide range of soil types, nutrient, and moisture levels make it invaluable in ornamental gardens of any style. Use Panicums for screening, erosion control, mass plantings, rain gardens, xeriscapes, and in naturalistic plantings, meadows, and prairie restoration. Wherever planted, they provide beauty and important habitat, nesting opportunities and materials, along with high-value food for numerous birds, animals, and insects. The spaces between these clumping perennial Grasses make way for plants like Heliopsis and tall Asters, fostering biodiverse plant communities. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor more information on growing Panicum, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47979022647449,"sku":"0030048-F","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/42480.jpg?v=1782073543"},{"product_id":"muhlenbergia-reverchonii-undaunted","title":"Muhlenbergia reverchonii Undaunted®","description":"\u003cp\u003eCommonly called Ruby Muhly Grass, \u003cem\u003eMuhlenbergia reverchonii\u003c\/em\u003e Undaunted® is a low-maintenance Ornamental Grass that takes its name from a rugged disposition that’s unfazed by winter cold, summer heat, and drought.

They tower over prairies and wet meadows, inhabit gravel bars in streams, sprout from rocky crevices in drainage areas, and thrive in roadside ditches. Tolerant of both dry conditions and periodic inundation, compact Vernonia cultivars are ideal for planting in low-maintenance rain gardens, meadows, native plant gardens, and perennial borders. Loose, feathery flower clusters packed with vivid magenta or purple, tubular disk florets are late-season pollinator powerhouses; foliage is a larval food source and seeds from rust-colored seedheads provide nourishment for birds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFor information on growing and care, click Growing Guide.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"White Flower Farm","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47979290558617,"sku":"0039423-F","price":19.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0532\/9983\/9129\/files\/12608.jpg?v=1782074065"},{"product_id":"aronia-melanocarpa-low-scape-mound","title":"Aronia melanocarpa Low Scape Mound®","description":"\u003cp\u003eFrom the UConn breeding program run by Mark Brand and Bryan Connolly comes \u003cem\u003eAronia melanocarpa\u003c\/em\u003e Low Scape Mound®, an improved, low-growing form of our native Chokeberry.
