DESCRIPTION
Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' is an ornamental grass with reddish-bronze foliage. The narrow, green leaves gradually develop rich red tones throughout the growing season, with the color intensifying in late summer and fall. The plant also produces feathery, airy flower panicles in late summer to early fall that darken with age, adding texture and movement to the landscape.
This switchgrass variety thrives in well-drained, fertile soil and full sun. It forms an open, airy mound with a slightly arching habit, creating a graceful, naturalistic appearance. 'Shenandoah' is ideal for borders, meadows, and mixed plantings where it can be appreciated for its relaxed form and vibrant color. Once established, it is low-maintenance and drought-tolerant, requiring minimal care beyond occasional watering during dry spells.
