{"product_id":"apache-rose-switch-grass-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Apache Rose Switch Grass - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eApache Rose is a solid, upright switch grass that stands firm through wind and rain. Its gray-green leaves form a dense column, and in fall the leaf tips blush rosy red.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat sets it apart is its flowers: while most green switch grasses bloom cream or tan, Apache Rose carries rose-colored flower clouds in late summer. It stays standing through winter, giving shelter to birds, and works as a specimen, screen or container plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNarrow gray-green leaves about ½ inch wide form a dense, upright, columnar clump about 4 feet tall and 2½ feet wide. In late summer, airy, open panicles of tiny rose-pink to rosy red flowers rise just above the foliage, forming a soft pink haze. In fall the leaf tips flush rosy red and the plant later fades to tan. At peak bloom the clump is a firm gray-green column wrapped in a rosy cloud.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eApache Rose shares lavender's love of full sun, and its gray-green column and rosy late-summer haze harmonize with lavender's gray foliage and purple tones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in almost any soil, from sand to clay; it is drought tolerant once established but also handles wetter spots. Hardy in zones 4 to 9. Leave it standing for winter interest and bird cover, then cut it back to a few inches in early spring.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Panicum virgatum\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rose pink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray-green with rosy red tips in fall\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, upright column\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 ft tall × 30 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4–9\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Late-August\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single Flush\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
