Panicum virgatum ‘Prairie Sky’
Choose Prairie Sky Switch Grass if you want a native, upright grass with blue foliage and clean structure. The tradeoff: it needs cutting back each spring and looks best where it gets strong sun.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | A- | The blue foliage and upright habit give it strong presence without looking heavy. |
| Growth Rate | A- | It fills in quickly for a clumping ornamental grass once established. |
| Maintenance | B+ | It is easy to manage, but the old top growth should be cut back before spring growth starts. |
| 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 | B | Its upright shape helps, but it still needs room to look natural. |
| Screening Value | C+ | It gives seasonal height and movement, not a dense privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Prairie Sky for sunny native borders, rain garden edges, and mixed grass plantings where blue foliage is the main goal.

Yes, cut the old growth back before new spring growth pushes.

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!
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.
