Grass Prairie Fire Switch

Prairie Fire Switch Grass, Panicum virgatum 'Prairie Fire' PPAF, is a new red switch grass that will likely become one of the hottest grasses on the market in a few years. This spectacular new switch grass has blue green stems with wine red leaves. In the spring the foliage is blue green, but by early summer the leaves are already turning their stunning red color. In late summer a bouquet of rosy panicles is displayed just above the foliage. When in bloom the leaves curl slightly, which gives the impression of red ribbons woven throughout the flowers. 'Prairie Fire' is a stunning new grass that is a must have for every garden! It grows and looks best in well drained soil. From earliest spring into the dead of winter, this red switch grass offers an arresting display that complements flowering plants nearby while making an elegant statement on its own.
