Panicum virgatum Squaw is an ever-changing switch grass, in early summer it has fresh, medium green foliage and pink spikes from midsummer but autumn is the glory time when it’s in full colour- a dark wine red. By winter they fade to straw-coloured fluff.A perfect warm season grass for small gardens, it sways beautifully in a breeze provide visual interest in late summer.

How to take care of Panicum virgatum Squaw
Ornamental grasses can be grown as specimens, in borders, as screens or in containers. Suitable for any well drained soil , they can be planted in a sunny or partially shaded position. Enrich the planting site with organic matter prior to planting. Leave plenty of space between tall varieties. Plant in a hole deep enough so that the root ball will be a little deeper than the plant was growing in it's container. Water well after planitng and for a few weeks until the plant is established. Mulch grasses with organic material in the autumn to protect roots and shoots from freezing. Grasses which die back completely in winter can be rejuvenated by cutting the entire plant back to about 10cm in early spring. Divide grasses every few years in the spring just as they are beginning to break dormancy. Dig the plant up and cut the clump into divisions with a sharp knife or spade, replant the divisions.
