SWITCH
GRASS. Original member of the native tallgrass prairie. Impervious to
floods, fire and drought. Easy to grow from seed. Very hardy, down to -50F.
Perennial with a long life span(10+yrs) Likes to form clumps about 1-2' around
and will get 5+ feet tall. Not picky about soil, will grow just about anywhere
with 6 hrs of sun. Has a grey/blueish hue in the summer and turns copper color
in fall, giving some color to the winter landscape. Wildlife is attracted to
switch grass. Deer and others hang out around stands of switch grass, it
provides hiding spots and a safe place to bed down. Also makes a great security
fence, always wear gloves, long sleeves and thick jeans when working with
switch grass, this stuff will cut you up in short sleeves and shorts. Poisonous
to horses, goats and sheep. But not to cows or humans. Will spread through
rhizomes and self seeding. If using as a ornamental, cut down to 8"early
spring for fresh new growth every year(wear gloves!).1000+(PLS)Quality
