Prairie Winds 'Apache Rose' switch grass is very versatile from a design standpoint; it is effective as a specimen, in masses, for screening, alongside ponds or streams, or even in large containers. This North American native ornamental grass is a great choice for those in harsher climates — neither wind nor rain will knock this sturdy plant down. It's beauty reveals itself in fall, when the tips of its gray-green leaves are flushed with a hint of rosy-red.
