Description

4-5′ tall x 18″ wide (division propagated). This beautiful selection of Switch Grass is valued for its red foliage. By mid-summer, the grass blades are colored green and tipped with red. In the fall the color intensifies as the entire plant turns a striking blend of reds and oranges. Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’ appreciates regular deep watering but will survive dry summers as it is moderately xeric.
