Flowering period
Flowering begins in early summer in central North Carolina and is followed by seed heads that create interest in the winter.
How to grow
Switchgrass grows best in full sun and can tolerate both dry and wet soil.
Care and maintenance
Plants can be cut back in late winter before new growth emerges.
Where to plant
The upright, linear foliage of switchgrass provides an excellent contrast to flowering perennials. Also a great choice for rain gardens, naturalizing, erosion control, and wildlife habitat. It can be planted in mass, small groups, or as a specimen.
When to plant
Switchgrass is quick to establish and can be planted any time the ground is not frozen.
Spacing
If planting in a group, space plants three feet apart.
When will my plant flower?
Nursery-grown plants should flower in early summer if planted in the spring.
Native habitat and range
Panicum virgatum grows in open and disturbed habitats in wet and dry soils throughout most of the eastern United States.
Source and origin
Our plants are propagated by root cuttings here at the nursery.
