PANICUM virgatum 'Northwind' |
||
|
Description: Native to a huge range in North America east of the Rocky Mountains, this species was a major component of the original native tallgrass prairies. A beautiful clumping grass, it is an easy species to grow and is very durable. Airy panicles of flowers appear in late July. 'Northwind' is an especially narrow, upright plant with strong stems that resist all weather. Even the inflores- cences are narrower. The blue-green leaves are especially broad and waxy, and the plant is very drought tolerant. Fall color is a rich gold. Selected by Roy Diblick of Northwind Perennial Farm in Wisconsin. Full sun. | ||||
