Cloud Nine Switch Grass

Cloud Nine Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum 'Cloud Nine') is a remarkable ornamental grass variety, prized for its stunning vertical form and captivating display throughout the seasons. This native North American grass starts with blue-green foliage in the spring, which transitions to a rich red hue as the summer progresses and deepens further into the fall, adding vibrant colors to the landscape. As it matures, the grass can reach an impressive height of about six to seven feet, creating a striking focal point in the garden. In late summer, airy flower panicles emerge, delicately dancing in the breeze and enhancing its visual appeal. Cloud Nine Switch Grass is remarkably adaptable, thriving in a range of soil types and moisture levels, making it suitable for a variety of garden designs. Whether used as a solitary specimen, in groups, or as a backdrop, this grass provides elegance and movement to gardens and is a favorite among landscape designers seeking both height and beauty in their plantings.
