Panicum virigatum Northwind 9cm / 2L / 12L

Panicum virgatum 'Northwind,' commonly known as Switchgrass, is a tall and stately ornamental grass appreciated for its upright habit, attractive foliage, and subtle inflorescences. A native North American grass, 'Northwind' brings a touch of elegance to gardens, providing vertical interest. This grass is deciduous and the height and growth will vary at certain points of the year.

The standout feature of 'Northwind' is its narrow, upright leaves that are a vibrant blue-green colour. The foliage forms a dense, vertical clump, creating a striking architectural element in the garden. As autumn arrives, the leaves take on warm tones of yellow, gold, and bronze.

In late summer to early autumn, 'Northwind' produces airy, open panicles that emerge above the foliage. The flower heads start off with a green hue and gradually transition to shades of pink, creating a delicate and subtle display that persists into the winter months.
