Panicum virgatum 'Prairie Sky' (Blue Switch Grass) - A deciduous warm-season clump-forming grass native to the American prairies. It has blue-gray upright foliage to 4-5 ft tall and attractive airy pink-tinged flowers in mid-summer. 'Prairie Sky' was a selection made by Roger Gettig with very blue foliage that has proved itself in western US gardens. Plant in full sun. Tolerant of most soils and irrigation practices from dry to soggy - shorter when kept dry. Hardy into USDA zone 4. Cut back in late winter. We grew this plant from 2002 to 2007.
