Red Switchgrass/ grows 3-4' ht & sp
Burgundy-red foliage emerges bluish-green but rapidly turns burgundy-red (by late June) to form a compact, narrow, erect, 3' tall clump of foliage which is topped in summer by a finely-textured, reddish-pink flower. Flowers turn beige as the seeds mature in fall with the seed plumes persisting well into winter. Foliage also turns beige in fall and provides good winter interest.

A compact, clumping grass with excellent vertical form. Green to blue-green foliage turns golden-yellow in autumn. Produces showy seed heads lending winter interest. Sturdy stems stay upright, even under a snow load. Good for erosion control.
