Switchgrass |
| Panicum virgatum |
For soil conservation, pastures and prairie. |
Switchgrass is a warm season, native bunch grass. It is very winter-hardy and drought resistant. It prefers Lowland, moist sites, but is adapted to a wide range of soils and climates including sand. The height and extensive root system of Switchgrass can cause it to become dominant over time in mixtures with other natives. It has moderate salt tolerance and can be used for soil conservation, warm season pasture, hay, wildlife habitat, and has become a potential source for bio-energy production. In fall, this plant has a red cast and turns orange/yellow in winter.
