Grass, Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah'

Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' is a very bright red Panicum, also known as Switch Grass. Foliage emerges bluish-green but rapidly turns burgundy-red by early summer to form a compact, narrow, erect, 3ft tall clump of foliage which is topped by reddish-pink flower plumes. Foliage and seed plumes turn beige in fall and provides good winter interest. One of the shortest Switch Grass varieties.
