RED FLAME SWITCH GRASS

Panicum virgatum 'Red Flame' PP35213 is commonly referred to as Red Flame Switch Grass. This native switchgrass is very similar to P. 'Shenandoah' but with a more stunning red fall color and increased vigor. Its foliage is blue-green during the growing season and turns almost completely wine red by the end of summer.

Red Flame Switch Grass is very adaptable and can even remain standing through winter unless the snow is heavy. This allows for perfect winter hiding spots for wildlife. Red Flame thrives in full sun and can tolerate light shade. It can also tolerate wind and salt, and enjoys average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. Great for seaside areas or along roads that may get salted.

Planting Tips ⓘ

To help Panicum virgatum types settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun in average, well-draining soil. It is incredibly adaptable, tolerating a wide range of soil conditions, including heavy clay and periodic wetness, and it becomes quite drought-tolerant once its extensive root system is established. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess nutrients can cause the stems to become weak and prone to flopping. Cut the foliage back to the ground in late winter or early spring to prepare for a fresh season of growth.
