Outdoor Plant Size

Apache Rose Switchgrass is a standout native prairie grass with upright, dark green blades that flush with rosy-red tones as the season advances toward fall. Fine-textured pink flower panicles appear in summer, catching the light and adding a hazy, ornamental quality to the planting. By autumn, the foliage transitions to warm gold and copper-bronze, extending visual interest deep into the season. Growing 3 to 5 feet tall, it’s ideal for mass plantings where its movement and color can make a real statement. As a Great Lakes native, it offers exceptional wildlife value, providing habitat and seed for birds throughout the year.
