This specific cultivar of the native Panicum virgatum is highly regarded for its upright growth habit, resembling a totem pole. Its tall, sturdy stems tower upward, making a dramatic statement in the garden. The foliage starts as a rich green in the spring and transitions to hues of red and purple as the season progresses, peaking in late summer and fall. As an added visual delight, 'Totem Pole' switchgrass produces airy flower panicles with a reddish tint that rise above the leaves in late summer. This switchgrass typically reaches an impressive height, often exceeding six feet, creating a bold focal point. Its stature and unique form make it ideal for adding height and structure to gardens, borders, and larger landscapes. 'Totem Pole' switchgrass is relatively easy to grow, adaptable to various soil types, and prefers well-drained soil. With its resilience, minimal maintenance needs, and ability to attract birds and beneficial insects, it's a popular choice for gardeners seeking both visual impact and ecological value in their outdoor spaces.
