Product Description
Panicumvirgatum'Cheyenne Sky' PP23209
Common Name: Grass-Ornamental, Red Switch Grass
this hardy Red Switch Grass is a perennial substitute for Pennisetum 'Rubrum'. Measuring in at just 3' (2' before blooming), 'Cheyenne Sky' forms a tight, vase-shaped clump of blue-green foliage that begins turning wine red in early summer.
By late summer, nearly the entire clump is drenched in color and is topped by matching wine-red flower panicles held just above the foliage. It makes a dynamite specimen plant and is even more eye-catching when planted en masse.

Fantastic, healthy, and livin' large!
I bought these to replace several (of 11) that were killed off in last years abnormally cold winter here in MD. I planted 2-3 plugs per old plant and they have taken wonderfully. I don't think I have ever had the consistent quality as I have seen from Blooming Designs anywhere else.
