(Switchgrass) Panicum PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Switcheroo' is a unique and highly ornamental switch grass known for its dynamic color changes throughout the growing season. This upright, clump-forming native grass emerges green with creamy white edges creating visual interest in the landscape. Dense flower panicles appear in late summer, rising just above the foliage and adding soft texture and movement. It is hardy in zones 4–9, and stands 36 inches tall and forms an upright clump that is 18-24 inches wide. PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Switcheroo' thrives in full sun, where its color development and upright habit are at their best. It prefers average to dry, well-drained soil and is notably tolerant of heat, humidity, and drought once established. The flowers provide subtle interest for pollinators, and the seed heads offer seasonal value for birds. As a native grass, it is generally deer and rabbit resistant, adding to its low-maintenance appeal. In garden design, PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Switcheroo' is ideal for perennial beds, prairie-style plantings, and mixed beds. Its bi colored foliage makes it an excellent accent or mass planting, and it pairs beautifully with flowering perennials for bold, season-long contrast and movement. Panicum PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Switcheroo' Is a Proven Winners® Perennial.
