Panicum Virgatum ‘Rotstrahlbusch’ (Switchgrass) is a striking ornamental grass known for its upright structure, fine textured foliage and strong seasonal colour changes. The green leaves develop attractive red and burgundy tones as the season progresses, while airy flower panicles add movement and lightness to the garden. Its upright habit provides year round structure and visual interest.

Ideal for borders, mass planting, screening and modern landscape designs, this grass thrives in sunny positions and adapts well to a variety of soils. It is excellent for low maintenance gardens, drought tolerant plantings and naturalistic designs where texture and movement are desired. Easy to grow and long lasting, it provides strong architectural form without requiring constant care. A reliable choice for gardeners looking to add height, colour contrast and seasonal interest with minimal maintenance.
