Switchgrass 'Rehbraun'

Panicum virgatum 'Rehbraun' is a captivating cultivar of switchgrass, prized in UK gardens for its vibrant seasonal colour changes and sturdy upright habit. Early in the growing season, its foliage emerges a fresh green, developing striking reddish-brown tips by mid-summer. As autumn progresses, the entire clump intensifies to a rich burgundy and deep red, creating a spectacular display. Delicate, airy panicles of reddish-purple flowers float above the foliage in late summer, adding to its charm. 'Rehbraun' is remarkably tough and adaptable, thriving in a variety of soils, including clay, and tolerating drought once established. It's an excellent choice for adding vertical accent, mass planting, or for prairie-style gardens, providing superb winter interest.
