Panicum Virgatum Thundercloud | 2L Pot

A tall, architectural grass with masses of airy, late summer flowers. Position: full sun Soil: moderately fertile, well-drained soil Rate of growth: average Flowering period: August and September Hardiness: fully hardy Rising like a giant anvil-shaped Cumulonimbus during the heady days of late summer is this architectural cloud-flowering panicum with an updraft of airy, open panicles of pale-pink flowers that persist well into winter. ‘Thundercloud’ has upright greenish-grey to steely blue foliage that resists flopping, even under heavy winds and rain, that mellow to autumnal tones of yellow as the season comes to an end. Garden care: Cut back in early spring when it starts to look tatty, and once established, lift and divide congested clumps between mid-spring and summer.
