Panicum virgatum – Blood Brothers
A striking Canadian selection of switchgrass, ‘Blood Brothers’ begins the season with upright, blue‐green foliage that transitions to vivid blood-red tips by midsummer, deepening steadily into fall. Small reddish flower panicles emerge in late summer, maturing to tan seedheads that remain attractive into winter. The vigorous, slightly vase-shaped clump reaches about 120–150 cm in height with a span of 75–90 cm, maintaining strong vertical structure well into the dormant season. Hardy in USDA Zones 4–9, drought-tolerant and deer-resistant once established, it’s ideal for sunny borders, prairie-style plantings, containers or as a colorful accent.
