Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' / RED SWITCH GRASS
Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah,' commonly known as Red Switch Grass, is an attractive ornamental grass known for its striking deep red to burgundy foliage that intensifies in color as the season progresses, creating a dramatic and colorful effect in the garden. In late summer to fall, this cultivar produces airy, purplish-red flower panicles that rise above the foliage, adding an additional layer of beauty and interest while attracting pollinators such as bees and butterflies. 'Shenandoah' forms a compact, upright clump, making it ideal for smaller gardens or as an accent in borders, meadows, or naturalized areas. This switchgrass thrives in well-drained soils and prefers full sun to partial shade, making it both drought-tolerant and low-maintenance once established. With its vibrant color, elegant texture, and year-round visual appeal, Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' is a standout addition to any garden or landscape.
