A mental image of a totem pole brings to mind a tall, narrow, majestic structure – the exact imagery to apply to this new ornamental grass!
'Totem Pole' forms a very upright column of steel blue foliage and powdery blue stems
In early fall, the top of the clump explodes with golden seed panicles
The narrow base of the plant makes it an ideal candidate for small spaces in the garden that need height and vertical structure
Switch grass gets its name from the peaceful swishing sound it makes when blowing in the wind
All parts of this grass are very sturdy, and will remain standing thru winter unless snows are heavy
Provides important cover for birds during the coldest days of winter
This grass is very versitile from a design standpoint; it is effective as a specimen, in masses, for screening, alongside ponds or streams, or even in large containers
Ornamental Grasses of the PRAIRIE WINDS® Collection add graceful texture and movement to the garden
These varieties thrive in full sun growing conditions and are proven deer resistant
