Plant Information
Plant Care
Rotstrahlbusch Switch Grass is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Cut back the foliage to 4-6 inches above ground level in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. This grass rarely requires division and maintains its upright form throughout the growing season. Fertilization is typically unnecessary, as the plant thrives in average garden soil.
Planting Instructions
Plant in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the crown is at soil level. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a light layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown. Space plants 24-36 inches apart for optimal growth and visual impact.
