National Plant Network's grower approved selections take the guesswork out of gardening! Northwind' is a bold, upright ornamental grass prized for its blue-green foliage that transitions to golden yellow in fall, and its airy late-summer seed panicles that add movement and structure to the garden. It thrives in USDA Zones 4 through 9 in full sun with well-drained to moderately moist soil and adapts well to dry conditions once established. Use it as a vertical accent, meadow-style mass planting, or as a backdrop where its clean columnar form and seasonal texture elevate the landscape.
