Grass, Panicum v. 'Red Sunset'

This warm-season ornamental grass features an upright, clumping habit, reaching a mature height of 4-5 feet. It thrives in USDA hardiness zones 4-9, tolerating a wide temperature range but performing best in full sun. Its soil preference ranges from well-drained sandy to loamy soils, and it shows excellent drought tolerance once established. The graceful, airy flower panicles emerge in late summer, transitioning from silvery-white to a soft red hue, bringing dynamic texture to your landscape. In fall, the foliage offers a stunning display of fiery red tones, adding seasonal interest. This grass is deer-resistant, low-maintenance, and suitable for prairie-style gardens, mixed borders, or as a specimen plant. It adapts readily to diverse conditions and supports pollinators by providing habitat and food.
