About Northwind Switch Grass

This premier ornamental switchgrass is celebrated for its tight, vertical habit and sturdy, unfloppable stems. Reaching 4 to 6 feet tall, its olive to blue-green foliage forms a compact column that transitions to a brilliant golden-yellow in autumn. Airy flower panicles emerge in late summer, creating a delicate cloud-like effect. This versatile native cultivar thrives in full sun and adapts to various soil types, from dry to wet clay, making it ideal for screens, mass plantings, or winter interest.
