Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a valued ornamental grass that adds structure and elegance to any garden. Its impressive inflorescences and slender, erect leaves create impressive clumps, ideal for solitary plantings, perennial beds or compositions with other grasses.

Why choose switchgrass for your garden:

• Decorativeness: Showy inflorescences and erect leaves add structure and elegance to the garden, especially impressive in group plantings.

• Versatility of use: Switchgrass blends in perfectly with perennials, shrubs and other ornamental grasses, suitable for group plantings, solitary plantings, as well as for growing in containers.

• Ease of cultivation: It prefers sunny positions and fertile, moderately moist and well-drained soils. It is tolerant to various types of soils and weather conditions.

• Frost resistance: Most varieties of switchgrass are characterized by good frost resistance, which makes them suitable for cultivation in the Polish climate.

Switchgrass care:

• Pruning: In early spring, before new growth begins, it is recommended to prune the clumps to a height of about 10-15 cm above the ground to remove last year's leaves and shoots.

• Fertilization: In the spring, it is a good idea to use a compound fertilizer or compost to support healthy growth and abundant flowering.

• Watering: It requires regular watering, especially during periods of drought. Young plants need more water to root well.
