Panicum virgatum 'Squaw' - Fingergrass

The Panicum Virgatum 'Squaw' (Finger Grass) is an ornamental grass with upright growth. The leaf is green with a red colour that turns bright red in the autumn. From July to September the ornamental grass blooms with beautiful pink-red flower plumes that change colour to a straw colour at the end of the autumn. The Panicum does well as a solitary, but looks best in groups. The Panicum 'Squaw' is very winter hardy and remains green until late in the winter.

Care
Panicum Virgatum 'Squaw' (Switch Grass) prefers a sunny spot. The plant does well in any soil that is not wet, but prefers dry to moist, slightly acidic soil. In drier seasons it is important to give the plant sufficient water. It is advisable to prune the plant back to 10-20 cm above the ground every year in March. This keeps the ornamental grass healthy and you will soon see new shoots.

Format
The plants have a height of 40-60cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 23cm.
