In spring and summer, the foliage emerges soft blue-green, then matures to deep burgundy-red as the season advances, creating a vivid focal point in any garden or container. This hardy, warm-season grass adds texture, movement, and autumn color, with airy reddish-pink flower panicles that appear in late summer and persist into fall, providing seasonal interest.\u003cbr\u003e\nUse 'Shenandoah' switchgrass as a decorative specimen, in mixed borders, or mass plantings where its compact stature and vivid color shine. Its clumping form works well in cottage gardens, prairie-style beds, or alongside pathways, and it remains attractive throughout winter with dried foliage. This is a versatile ornamental choice for gardeners seeking reliable, low-maintenance structure.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Panicum virgatum\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Shenandoah\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Ornamental Grass\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Clumping perennial\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun to partial shade\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, adaptable; tolerates moist or dry conditions\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 4-9\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Cold stratify seeds for 4-6 weeks, then provide warm temperatures (65-70°F) for best results\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Surface sow seeds on moist soil; press lightly and keep consistently moist; provide light for germination\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 18-24 inches apart\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Foliage color intensifies with full sun; cut back in late winter to early spring to encourage fresh growth\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663068299400,"sku":"EXGA-200","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_77310c63-b209-4685-b821-b22db669a5eb.png?v=1791895580","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/25-seeds-panicum-virgatum-shenandoah-red-switchgrass-ornamental-grass","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
