Fall panicumFall panicum

Fall panicum, Panicum dichotomiflorum, is a grassy summer annual with a zigzag appearance because it bends at its nodes. It has a very rounded stem, prominent midveins in the leaves and a ring of hair as its ligule. Fall panicum can reach heights of 7 feet. The inflorescence, or seedhead, is a large, open, branched panicle that takes on a purple tinge when mature.

Young plants of fall panicum are sometimes confused with johnsongrass and barnyardgrass. The way to tell the three apart is by the appearance of fall panicum’s hairy ligule. Seedling fall panicum’s first true leaf has hairs on the underside of the blade whereas johnsongrass and barnyardgrass do not.
