Frosted Explosion Switch Grass

Panicum elegans. Frosted Explosion is a floral designer’s dream! Sturdy stalks are topped in late summer by delicate buff- to pink-tipped fiberoptic sparkler blooms. It adds wonderfully fine, airy texture and long-lasting excitement to garden beds and bouquets. It’s incredibly easy to grow, and very productive. It dries well, too! Direct-sow seeds in small clusters either in late summer or spring after the last spring frost date. Press the seeds into the soil and only lightly cover them. Annual. Summer blooming. Height: 24” to 36”. Average seed life: 2 to 3 years.

One packet of about 25 seeds

  • Information
    • Deer-resistant and easy to grow, Ornamental Grasses add lovely texture, color and billowing movement to garden beds and containers. Their blooms are the hallmark of late summer and fall, and are wonderful additions to late-season bouquets.
  • Gardening Tips
    • Ornamental Grass Sowing Instructions
      Planting Depth      :1/4”
      Seed Spacing:1”
      Plant Spacing:12”
      Days to Germination:14-21 days
      Germination Temperature:55°-65°F

      Seeds are best direct-sown in mid-spring and thinned to 12" apart. If starting indoors, sow into individual pots 6 to 8 weeks before the last frost date. Cover the seeds lightly and keep them moist until germination. Harden off the seedlings by slowly introducing them to the outdoors over the span of a week, and then carefully transplant them, disturbing the roots as little as possible, to 12" apart in full sun and welldraining soil after all danger of frost has passed. Ornamental grass is relatively drought-tolerant once established. To dry the blooms, cut stems, tie them into bundles, and hang them upside down in a dry, dark spot for several weeks. Annual. Summer flowering.
