Panicum virgatum ‘Summer Sunrise’<br />
UPRIGHT SWITCHGRASS<br />
This Switchgrass has been charming visitors in<br />
our garden for years. It produces a dense cloud<br />
<strong>of</strong> s<strong>of</strong>t pink seed heads that rise just above the<br />
foliage. Inflorescences catch the morning light,<br />
echoing the colors <strong>of</strong> a summer sunrise. Wide,<br />
bluish leaves form an upright, compact habit.<br />
Fall color is pinkish gold. Has the versatility and<br />
adaptability we love in Switchgrass.<br />
