Panicum virgatum | Switchgrass | Starter Plant Plug

Add Movement, Texture, and Purpose to Your Garden with Switchgrass Starter Plant Plugs
 
Looking to build a resilient, beautiful landscape that supports native wildlife and holds up in tough conditions? Our Panicum virgatum (Switchgrass) Starter Plant Plug is an essential native grass for prairie-style gardens, restoration projects, and low-maintenance landscaping.
 
With its upright growth, airy flower plumes, and golden fall color, Switchgrass adds dynamic texture and year-round visual interest. This warm-season bunchgrass is incredibly adaptable—tolerating drought, clay soil, and even periodic flooding—making it a favorite for erosion control, meadow plantings, and ornamental borders.
 
Our ready-to-plant plugs offer a head start for establishing this beneficial native grass with minimal effort.
 
🎯 Please Note: Photos show mature plants for reference. You will receive healthy starter plugs grown fresh. Plants may be dormant or just emerging depending on the season. If your plugs don’t thrive, we offer replacement or refund.
