Additional Information: Switchgrass is a versatile native warm-season grass known for its tall, airy seed heads and upright growth habit. It thrives in prairies, open fields, and along roadsides, providing excellent erosion control and serving as a valuable habitat for wildlife. In the fall, its foliage turns golden yellow, adding seasonal interest to landscapes. This grass is highly adaptable, tolerant of both drought and periodic flooding, and is ideal for native plantings, prairie restorations, and low-maintenance landscaping.
