Preferred Seed

Cave-in-Rock Switchgrass is a native perennial, warm-season, sod forming grass that grows 3 to 5 feet in height and produces a deep extensive fibrous root system. It is a northern improved variety of switchgrass which has good seedling vigor and stand establishment and has good biomass production and yield. Switchgrass is a major component of the tall grass vegetation which once dominated the prairies of the Central and Eastern United States. It can be used alone or in mixtures for livestock forage in rangeland, pastureland, and hayland. In addition, switchgrass is excellent for wildlife habitat, critical-area seeding, roadside beautification, and erosion control. It can be used in mixtures with other warm-season grasses such as big bluestem, indiangrass, little bluestem, and sideoats grama.
