This quintessential native prairie grass is celebrated for its graceful, upright form, striking blue-green summer foliage, and captivating transition to rich gold and burgundy hues in the fall.

Switchgrass is a powerhouse for both aesthetics and ecosystem health. Its deep, fibrous root system is unparalleled for soil stabilization, erosion control, and improving soil structure, making it an ideal choice for challenging sites, rain gardens, or simply enhancing overall garden health. As a foundational native grass, it offers vital habitat, nesting sites, and a crucial food source for a wide array of wildlife, including various bird species and beneficial insects. Highly drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and adaptable to a broad range of soil conditions, Switchgrass is an excellent, sustainable choice for creating naturalized meadows, effective screening, or dynamic, biodiverse landscapes that thrive with minimal intervention.
