Features

notes

Once a familiar sight in the prairies of North America, this variety of ornamental grass, Panicum virgatum Warrior, is also a compelling candidate for British gardens. Clouds of purple flowers hang well above the green summer foliage, which in turn, warms to gratifying shades of red, orange and yellow in the autumn.

Insights

Plant as a graceful, deep-rooting backdrop in a border, or as an integral part of a prairie planting scheme where it will provide movement and structure.
