Description
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a summer perennial grass that is native to North America. It is a natural component of the native tall-grass prairie which covered most of the Great Plains, as well as the south and eastern United States. This native grass grows best in areas that receive 30 inches of rainfall a year or in irrigated areas with average to wet soils. It usually grows 3 to 5 feet in height and is often grown as an ornamental grass plant. It is excellent material for fresh and dried arrangements. Switchgrass also is very tolerant of poor soils, flooding and drought.

It is a natural component of the native tall-grass prairie which covered most of the Great Plains, as well as the south and eastern United States. This native grass grows best in areas that receive 30 inches of rainfall a year or in irrigated areas with average to wet soils. It is very tolerant of poor soils, flooding and drought. Switchgrass usually grows 3 to 5 feet in height. Even as a seedling, it can be distinguished from other native grasses by the dense patch of hairs at the point where the leaf blade attaches to the sheath. The stem is round and usually has a reddish tint. The seed head (panicle) is spreading and open. The foliage turns a beautiful yellow in fall and holds its form well throughout the winter. It is excellent material for fresh and dried arrangements. Used often as an ornamental grass.
