Make a strong landscape statement with this tall, easy to grow, narrow, upright, wide bladed grass that is bound to be noticed wherever you plant it. Dark, olive-green foliage with just a hint of powdery blue add to this plant's mystique as does its ability to thrive in so many soils from poor, sandy, droughty ones to moist, well-drained fertile ones. It makes a stunning display in groups and looks even better in summer as stalks form and hold showy, upright flower panicles above the foliage for all to see, including colorful birds who look forward to the ample seed this selection provides. This plant is exclusively offered to American Beauty program buyers!

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Panicum virgatum 'Northwind'

Plant in well-drained soil and keep the soil evenly moist, especially during dry periods. This medium-growing ornamental grass benefits from a slow-release, medium-rate fertilizer applied in spring. Be mindful of potential pests like spider mites, rust, leaf spot, and aphids. While 'Northwind' doesn’t require special overwintering care, avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. If you need to cut back the plant, do so early in the growing season to allow time for new growth to mature.
