Hanse Herms Switch Grass
Hanse Herms Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum 'Hanse Herms') is a striking ornamental grass admired for its unique characteristics and ornamental appeal. This cultivar is a cultivar of the native North American Panicum virgatum, commonly known as switchgrass. Hanse Herms stands out with its upright, clump-forming habit, reaching a height of about four to five feet. The foliage is a rich green color, creating a dense and bushy appearance. As summer progresses, the grass produces feathery panicles that rise above the foliage, initially showcasing a greenish hue and transitioning to a beautiful, airy display of purplish-pink seed heads. This transformation adds visual interest to gardens and landscapes. Hanse Herms Switch Grass is adaptable and thrives in a variety of soil conditions, making it a versatile choice for landscape design. Its tolerance to drought once established and its ability to attract wildlife, especially birds seeking its seeds, further enhance its desirability in gardens.
