Switchgrass - NativeGrasses.com

SWITCH GRASS: Is a native, perennial warm season grass used for forage, slow to establish and fast growing up to 2-6 ft. As with a lot of our native plants it was depleted from over usage, burning, and land clearing for farming. Renewed interest in this grass is on the rise again.

Nativegrass

This grass along with other plants is also being considered for fuel. Used as fresh forage, pelletized as supplemental feeds, and ground cover. Switch grass is excellent for renovation of wildlife habitats and supplying ground birds with insect habitats and ground cover and forage for other wildlife.

Native Grasses - SWITCH GRASS

It is used in naturalized plantings for erosion control, field dividers, conservation areas; most all wildlife habitats can use switch grass in small or larger areas. It grows in a variety of soils and temperatures and remains a refuge for animals even through heavy snows. Switch grasses can be used in landscaping area designs and comes in several color variations and is used in some flower arrangements. With the "pond and bog" additions to many naturalized settings becoming popular Switch grass makes another comeback as an ornamental grass.

PREPARATION: Soil testing, supplements if needed and pH of 5 and eradication of competing grasses and weeds.

SEEDING: Drill seeded on large acreage and can be broadcast on smaller plots at 5-10 LB/ A depending upon the seed (live or bulk)

MANAGEMENT: Use rotational grazing methods, overgrazing will kill it back, mown high and hayed in mid to late June, small foodplots can be mown high and controlled burnings at the appropriate times such as early spring when the growth is starting to encourage insect populations and open areas for the ground birds to move through. Or it can simply be left alone.

ADAPTATIONS: About ¾ of the United States and can grow on seashores all the way to swamps, inland areas, along streams and drought prone areas.
