Photo of Panicum bulbosum (panic grass)

Panicum bulbosum - Commonly called bulbous panic grass, is a clump-forming grass that typically grows to 30-40” tall in cultivation. This grass is particularly noted for its light gray-green foliage, erect culms which are swollen at the base (lowest internode) forming an ovoid corm, upright stems of reddish-brown flowers which bloom in pyramidal panicles in summer and vigorous growth habit. Foliage clumps are topped in summer by loosely flowered pyramidal panicles which are purple in color if the plant is growing in sun or green in color if plant is growing in shade. Flowers hover over the foliage like a cloud. Flowers are followed by seed plumes which often persist well into winter.  Family: Poaceae
