Switchgrass

Panicum virgatum

Poaceae · Grass

Switchgrass is a versatile native ornamental grass known for its upright form and airy seed heads that provide winter interest. It's an excellent choice for naturalized areas, meadows, or as a backdrop plant.

• · Cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring before new growth appears.
• · Drought-tolerant once established, requiring little supplemental water.
• · Avoid over-fertilizing, as this can lead to leggy growth.
