Description
‘Prairie Dog’ Switchgrass is a selection of the easy-to-grow native species Panicum virgatum. Switchgrass has a very wide native range across North America, including all United States except for California, Washington, Oregon, Alaska, and Hawaii. It is happy in a sunny location in sand, clay, or loam soil with moderate to wet moisture, and will be drought tolerant once established.
Resilient Switchgrass grows dense, fibrous roots several feet deep. This means they are a great choice for erosion control, they are very long-lived, and they are tolerant to floods and drought. Switchgrass is also salt tolerant and happy along roadsides or coastal areas. Panicum virgatum is the preferred larval host plant of pink streak moths, and it is a larval host for the Delaware Skipper and the Hobomok Skipper.
Planting & Care
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
