Schizachyrium scoparium 'Chameleon' pbr
'Chameleon' pbr is a striking ornamental grass known for its ever-changing foliage colours. This compact, clump-forming grass features slender, upright blades that transition through a spectrum of hues. Emerging as soft blue-green in spring, the foliage gradually develops vibrant streaks of pink, red, and orange as the seasons progress, culminating in fiery tones during autumn. In late summer, delicate, fluffy seed heads rise above the foliage, adding texture and movement.
Cultural
Thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, tolerating a range of conditions from sandy to clay soils. It is drought-tolerant once established and requires minimal maintenance. For best results, cut back to the ground in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh, vibrant growth.
Landscape Uses
Its vibrant foliage and compact form make it perfect for adding colour and texture to mixed borders, mass plantings, or prairie-style gardens. It works well as an accent plant in modern landscapes or naturalistic settings. Its low-maintenance nature and year-round interest make it an excellent choice for sustainable and drought-tolerant gardens.
