Product Information

Panicum Virgatum Squaw has a range of benefits for your garden, whether you are new to gardening or a seasoned professional. It is perfect for cutting down maintenance in your garden and providing graceful height and interest!

Panicum Squaw Grasses (Switchgrass) look wonderful at the back of a border, in a Mediterranean or prairie style garden, or as a feature in a large courtyard garden. They are incredibly striking in swathes along a sunny border, adding gentle elegance to your planting schemes and are also ideal for planting near ponds or streams.

Alternatively, you can plant your Panicum Virgatum Squaw with other ornamental grasses, with Rudbeckia and Verbena for a natural look, or at the back of a border with Campanula, Nepeta and Lychnis planted in front and amongst them

For best results with Panicum virgatum Squaw grasses (Switchgrass), plant them in full sun (though they will tolerate partial shade). Ensure you use fertile, moist, but well drained soil, (though they will tolerate drier soils once established).
