Switchgrass

Pending NPSOT review

Deep-rooted and forgiving on the floodplain. Seed benefits from after-ripening — a season in the bag sharply improves germination. We favor a regional ecotype over the tall biomass cultivars.

StatusA working first pass, being reconciled against NPSOT and USDA PLANTS. Corrections welcome at [email protected].
