About Old Switch Panic Grass
Switchgrass is a perennial, warm-season ornamental grass that is found all over North America growing along moist roadsides, streambanks, and woodlands. It forms a dense columnar foliage clump that can spread slowly through creeping rhizomes. It has a bluish cast in the summer and is topped by finely-textured, pink-tinged, branched flower panicles that hover over the foliage like a cloud.
