notes
For a superb vertical accent, look no further than the North American prairie grass Panicum Northwind. With upright growth, the foliage is grey/green, turning a wonderful yellow/orange in autumn before fading to buff over winter. In August the linear effect of this switch grass is softened by a haze of fine pink flowers.
