Niagara Falls Switch Grass is a remarkably showy, clumping ornamental grass with cascading, powder blue foliage, and densely packed sprays of cream seed heads above the foliage. It brings movement, sound and texture to the garden with its elegant, long blades. Notably wide for a Panicum, ‘Niagara Falls’ is as wide as it is tall, giving it great presence in the garden.

Plant this broad blue Switch Grass as a short hedge or screen, in erosion-prone areas, as a specimen, and en masse. A sturdy grass, it will remain standing through winter, and will provide important cover for birds. Drought and salt tolerant. Panicum virgatum 'Niagara Falls' is very hardy.
