Description

Panicum is native grass that is very easy to grow and is a good grass for beginners. It will grow in any soil, from sand to clay, is drought tolerant once established, and even withstands periodic flooding. Grow this grass in full sun. It will tolerate light shade, but will flop over if the shade is too heavy. Panicum is wind and salt tolerant, making it a good choice for seaside gardens or along roads that are salted in winter.

Medium. PANICUM virgatum ‘Purple Tears’ PP28518. 3-4' tall, 24" wide, full sun-part shade. Green, narrow, upright habit with spikes of soft gray color at the top, followed by splendid, purple seed heads. Foliage looks like a fluffy cloud. A wonderful addition to rain gardens. Drought tolerant, deer resistant, attracts butterflies. Native. Warm season. Zones 4-10. Potted in 3" pot.
