Northwind Switch Grass (#3)

Choose Northwind Switch Grass if you want a tall, upright grass that stays tidy without staking; the tradeoff is a stiff, vertical look rather than a soft, arching one.

Buy This If

• You want upright structure.
• You dislike floppy grasses.
• You need fast fill.

Skip This If

• You want a low mound.
• You prefer arching foliage.
• You need wet-site tolerance.

PGNE Report Card

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Northwind when a homeowner wants height without the loose, fountain shape of many ornamental grasses. Give it breathing room and repeat it in groups for the cleanest result.
