Panicum virgatum ‘Dallas Blues’
Choose Dallas Blues Switch Grass if you want a native grass with blue-gray foliage and strong winter structure; the tradeoff is that it gets too upright and bold for tight front-bed spots.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | Its upright blue-gray blades and late-season plumes give a border clear structure without looking stiff. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly once established, especially in sun and leaner soil. |
| Maintenance | B+ | Plan on one hard cutback in late winter or early spring and otherwise avoid overfeeding it. |
| Deer Resistance | A- | Deer rarely bother ornamental grasses; the bladed foliage is not a favorite, though hungry deer may nip tender new growth. |
| Small Space Fit | C | The clump stays contained, but the upright size can overwhelm narrow beds and walkway corners. |
| Screening Value | B- | It gives seasonal privacy and movement, but it is not a solid evergreen screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Dallas Blues for customers who want a native grass with more weight than a small fescue but less fuss than many flowering perennials.

They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
