Panicum 'Northwind', commonly known as 'Northwind' Switchgrass, is a hardy, native North American perennial ornamental grass. It is appreciated for its upright, columnar shape, growing to a height of 4 to 6 feet and a width of 2 to 3 feet. The grass showcases olive-green to blue-green foliage that transforms into a striking golden color in the fall. It also produces airy seed heads that add interest during the winter months.

This low-maintenance grass thrives in full sun but can tolerate some shade. It adapts well to various soil types, including clay and dry conditions, and is recognized for its drought resistance. These qualities make it an excellent choice for rain gardens, mass plantings, and as a focal point in landscapes. It also serves well as a wind screen, privacy screen, or erosion control planting in both residential and naturalized settings. This offer contains one growing plant in a 4" pot.
