Switch Grass was an important component of the Tall-grass Prairie that once covered much of the Great Plains.

Gradually turns golden-yellow in fall, remaining attractive all winter long. Trim back to the ground in early spring. Clumps are easily divided in spring. Drought tolerant once established.
