Gunsmoke Switch Grass is a native warm-season ornamental grass with a dense upright habit and fine green foliage with a smoky quality that turns yellow then beige in fall. In summer stems holding airy clusters create a cloud of tiny, softly smoky toned flowers above the foliage which turn smoky purple in fall and persist through winter. Prefers part sun and moist well-drained soils.
