    Red Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah') begins to take on its purple hues in spring. By summer the wine colored foliage is numerous and unmistakable, just as the red blooms arise. This ever-changing plant morphs seamlessly with deeper blades of red persisting through fall. Red Switchgrass, Panicum virgatum 'Shenandoah' is a native species that attracts birds and butterflies and will be as tough as nails through cold winters and summer droughts. Plant with companion prairie plants for a gorgeous display of homegrown color.

    Shipping Methods

    Orders will be shipped via FedEx Home Delivery.

    Orders are generally in route for 2-5 business days (depending on where you live).

    We are sticklers about packaging and shipping your order in a way that guarantees healthy plants upon arrival. If plants are damaged on arrival, just let us know and we'll send you new ones or offer a full refund.

    All of our plants are container grown and shipped with the soil and roots fully intact. We DO NOT ship your plants bare-root. Being shipped as a containered plant greatly reduces the risk of the plant not surviving the transit to your home.

    No problems whatsoever.

    As expected, there were no problems with the plants when I received them. I followed the pre-planting directions and, eventually, placed them in the ground, where they are looking robust.

    Plants arrived healthy and ready to plant!

    I was pleased with the level of healthiness the plants had when I opened the package and after only one week in the ground, I can see new growth already! I'll use this company again!
