Van Zyverden Red Switch Ornamental Grass (1) 3.25" Dormant Plant
Our national attention is turning to climate change. All the data say it's crunch time, and that plants are essential for building communities that can withstand these changes. A 2016 report from the EPA explored ways green infrastructure can improve community resiliency. Experts and stakeholders outlined strategies to help communities prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change. Strategies included managing flood risk, reducing urban heat island effects, and decreasing the energy needed to manage water. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be part of the answer in all the case studies cited in the EPA report. Grasses and sedges anchor the plantings that help clean our water, reduce flooding, and lessen the effects of rising temperatures. Let's work towards a better environment. Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’ is a spectacular red switchgrass. Its upright foliage becomes red tinted during the growing season, culminating in a dazzling red-leaved show in fall. Panicum are renowned for being drought tolerant and easy to maintain. They also provide food and shelter to wildlife. Our native Panicum have been studied in Europe where cultivars were reintroduced into North America. Panicum virgatum ‘Shenandoah’ is one of these: it was discovered by Hans Simon in Germany from a seedling of Panicum virgatum ‘Hänse Herms’.
