Prairie Winds® 'Cheyenne Sky' Red Switch Grass (Panicum)

Our perennials are currently going dormant. The foliage and blooms begin to brown and die back. We provide a hard trim in the greenhouse to support this process. During dormancy, plants go inactive to conserve their energy for the next growing season. This happens naturally as seasons change!

'Cheyenne Sky' is one of the easiest ornamental grasses to grow in full sun. It forms a dense, upright clump of blue-green leaves that turn wine red in early summer. Purple flower panicles appear just above the foliage in late summer. This petite red grass is ideal for containers and does well in any soil from sand to clay. It's also drought, heat, and salt tolerant and resists deer.

  • 36 inches tall and 18 inches wide at maturity
  • Hardy in Zones 4-9
  • Full sun (6+ hours) required

Our perennial plants are entering their natural dormancy phase. As part of this process, foliage and blooms are browning and dying back—this is completely normal! We give the plants a hard trim in our greenhouse to support them as they conserve energy for the next growing season. Rest assured, your perennials will wake up and thrive again when it's time in your growing zone. Dormancy is how they prepare for a healthy, vibrant comeback as the seasons change!

Care: Fertilize with Proven Winners Continuous Release Plant Food in spring and mid-summer, and cut back in the spring before new growth appears.
