Switch grass gets its name from the peaceful swishing sound it makes when blowing in the wind. Oramental grasses add graceful texture and movement to the garden. The grass is highly versatile and it provides important cover for birds during the coldest days of winter.

This hardy red switch grass is a highly versatile ornamental grass known for its wine-red flower panicles held just above the foliage. 'Cheyenne Sky' starts by forming a tight, vase-shaped clump of blue-green foliage that begins turning wine red in early summer! By summer's end, it's drenched in deep red tones and makes for a dynamite specimen plant or even more eye-catching when planted en masse. One of the easiest ornamental grasses to grow in full sun. Does well in any soil from sand to clay.
