Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’ (Switchgrass) is a standout ornamental grass celebrated for its upright, graceful form and deep red foliage that intensifies throughout summer and peaks in vibrant fall tones. Growing to 3–4 feet tall, it produces airy, delicate flower panicles in late summer that add texture, movement, and visual interest to the garden while attracting bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Extremely hardy and low-maintenance, ‘Shenandoah’ adapts to a wide range of soil types, including dry or sandy conditions, and performs beautifully in borders, mixed perennial gardens, naturalized landscapes, and prairie-style plantings. With its striking seasonal color, year-round structure, and reliable performance, this switchgrass is an excellent choice for gardeners seeking both ornamental appeal and ecological benefits.
