Panicum virgatum 'Buffalo Green'
Panicum virgatum 'Buffalo Green' is an upright, clump-forming ornamental grass that brings structure, movement, and seasonal colour to the garden. In summer, its bright green foliage forms neat vertical tufts which sway gracefully in the breeze, lending elegance to borders and prairie-style plantings. As the season progresses, the leaves mature to warm yellow, providing valuable autumn colour.
Tall, airy flower stems rise above the foliage in late summer, carrying fine clusters of copper-green flowers that add soft texture and catch the light beautifully. Hardy, easy to grow, and tolerant of coastal conditions, ‘Buffalo Green’ is ideal for mixed borders, gravel gardens, and modern planting schemes where it delivers reliable performance and year-round appeal. Holder of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, it is recognised for its outstanding garden value.
