The Niagara Falls Switch Grass brings a bold yet graceful presence to your garden. With its broad, arching foliage that cascades like a waterfall, this native grass stands out with a stunning powder-blue hue. In autumn, it’s topped with delicate sprays of cream-colored seed heads that sway elegantly in the breeze, adding gentle movement and texture to your landscape. Sturdy and resilient, Niagara Falls remains upright even through winter—unless snows are heavy—providing essential cover for birds. This versatile grass is perfect as a specimen plant, in mass plantings, or for adding a natural touch by ponds or streams. Thriving in full sun and naturally deer resistant, it’s a graceful and hardy addition to any garden.
