Read More About Dream Catcher Cherry Bomb Panicum (Switchgrass)

Panicum virgatum 'Nonbmob'

Dream Catcher Cherry Bomb Switchgrass is a compact ornamental grass prized for its intense cherry-red foliage and tidy, rounded habit. Unlike many switchgrasses that develop their strongest color only in fall, Cherry Bomb™ begins showing red-tipped foliage in spring and becomes increasingly red throughout summer and into fall.

Its neat, clump-forming growth makes it easy to incorporate into perennial beds, borders, mass plantings, and mixed landscapes. Sparse tan flower panicles appear late in the season, allowing the brilliant foliage to remain the star of the show all the way until frost. Its manageable size and bold color make Cherry Bomb™ an excellent choice for adding texture without overwhelming neighboring plants.

Plant Details:

  • Height: 2–3 ft
  • Width: 2–3 ft
  • Shape: Upright, clump-forming
  • Exposure: Full Sun
  • Foliage: Green to Cherry Red
  • Hardiness Zones: 4–9

Why you’ll love it:

  • Cherry-Red Foliage: Brilliant red coloring creates a bold landscape accent.
  • Color Starts Early: Red-tipped foliage appears in spring and intensifies throughout summer and fall.
  • Compact & Tidy: Forms a manageable 2–3 foot clump that fits easily into mixed plantings.
  • Foliage-Focused Display: Sparse flowering keeps the colorful leaves front and center throughout the season.
  • Excellent Accent Plant: Adds beautiful contrast alongside green, silver, and flowering perennials.
  • Versatile Landscape Use: Works beautifully in borders, mass plantings, mixed beds, and as a colorful groundcover accent.

Growing Tips

Plant in full sun for the strongest growth and most intense red foliage color. Cherry Bomb™ adapts to a variety of soil conditions but performs best in well-drained soil. Water regularly during the first growing season, then provide supplemental water during extended dry periods. Leave the foliage standing through winter for added texture, then cut it back in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.

Compact, colorful, and easy to incorporate into the landscape, Dream Catcher Cherry Bomb™ Switchgrass delivers increasingly vibrant cherry-red foliage from spring through fall.

Order & Shipping Info:

-Plants ship in a grower's pot, fully rooted.
-We ship every Monday and Tuesday (excluding holidays) to avoid weekend delays.
-Our photos show what you can expect, but each plant is unique and may look slightly different upon arrival.
-Minor damage during shipping is entirely normal and should be expected, especially in extreme summer or winter temperatures. Don’t worry—damaged foliage can be trimmed away and will not affect the plant's root system or overall health.
-Hold off on watering if the soil is still moist, and wait 2-4 weeks before repotting or fertilizing. This patience will help your plant adjust smoothly without going into shock.

  • Report any order issues the day they arrive by emailing info@magicvalleygardens.com with a photo. After 24 hours, no refunds, returns, or exchanges—no exceptions.
  • We guarantee plants arrive alive, but can’t promise long-term success given the nature of plants.
  • Refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis. Many plants recover with proper care, so refunds may not be needed.
