Panicum amarum (Bitter Panic Grass) [30 Seeds]
$4.25
Germination Information: There isn’t much information available on growing this species from seed. I do find self-sown seedlings in my garden, so one route that obviously could work is sowing in fall or winter and leaving the pot outdoors; then the seeds can sprout when conditions are right. Or, you could try sowing in warm, bright conditions; if no seedlings appear in about a month, then give the pot an artificial chilling period of about 2 months. Either way, I’d suggest surface-sowing (pressing the seeds into the surface of the growing medium).
Transplant the seedlings (in groups) to pots when they’re 1 to 2 inches tall. Use groups of 6 to 10 or so if you want bigger clumps faster, or 3 or 4 per pot if you want a larger number of starter plants.
Note that this information will not appear on the seed packet you receive.

Description
Bitter panic grass (Panicum amarum), also known as coastal switch grass, is a clump-forming, warm-season grass with grayish green foliage that turns yellowish in fall. Its flowering stems start out upright, reaching around 6 feet tall by late summer, then gradually lean outward as the arching, lacy sprays of seeds form in late summer into fall. This U.S. native can be a handsome substitute for miscanthus in a medium-sized to large garden or landscape. Full sun. Perennial; Zones 3 to 9.
Collected in late September 2022. At least 30 seeds. Unknown ecotype.
