Panicum virgatum Prairie Winds® 'Niagara Falls'
'Niagara Falls' is a majestic ornamental switchgrass with graceful, arching blue-green blades that form a cascading fountain-like shape — just like its namesake.
By late summer, airy reddish-bronze flower panicles emerge above the foliage, adding movement and texture to borders and landscapes. It’s heat-tolerant, drought-resistant once established, and offers outstanding fall color in tones of gold and tan.
