PANICUM amarum 'Dewey Blue' |
||
|
Description: The species P. amarum is native to sandy soils of the US coast from Connecticut to Mexico. The inflorescences are more narrow and dense than P. virgatum, and arch outwards, creating a fountainlike effect in July. It grows as a clump, but spreads by stolons more rapidly than P. virgatum. ‘Dewey Blue’ was selected and named by Rick Darke and introduced by Dale Hendricks of North Creek Nurseries from seed collected near Dewey, Delaware. The leaves are exceptionally more blue-gray than the species, making a beautiful clump. Great heat and drought tolerant grass for dry sites, and best if grown lean with minimal fertilizer. The species is often used for dune stabilization. Full sun. | ||||
