Panicum ‘Blue Giants’ is a recently released tall variety of Switch Grass, bred specifically for ornamental use in gardens. The plants grow clumps of green-blue leaves and upright spikes of white to pale pink flower panicles up to 1.8m tall. The panicles appear in late summer and then dry out gradually as the weather cools, making an appealing winter display. The panicles are good cut flowers.
Panicum grows best in a sunny position in well drained soils. It is drought tolerant once established and generally untroubled by pests.
Pack of approx 50 seeds. Sow the seeds in spring to summer. Germination is erratic, so sow more than you need. Sowing instructions and a colour photo are printed on the packet.
