Hi Janet
Your suggestion of Panicum virgatum is new for us. Just looking at a reference for Panicum virgatum:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panicum_virgatum
It is difficult for us to confirm your suggested ID. Would you be able to get a specimen to take to ANBG for a positive ID?

We think this grass is a low risk weed so won't rush to control it
