Panicum virg. 'Cloud Nine'

A fascinating ornamental grass with narrow, linear overhanging blue-gray leaves. They sprout quite late.

Flowering occurs in late summer with fragrant light brown flower tufts that barely protrude above the leaf pile.

In autumn they turn ocher yellow.

They require a moderately dry to moist soil and a sunny, warm place.

Flowering can sometimes be omitted on nutrient-rich soil.

Prune in the spring before sprouting.
