HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Direct sow either in late fall or early spring. Plant the Panicum virgatum seed just below the surface of the soil, compacting the soil very firmly. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, since this seed cannot germinate in dry soil.
Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established. This plant adapts well to either dry or moist soil, as well as tolerating drought and heat well. It also adapts well to various soil types such as sand and clay. It will eventually spread by rhizomes and self-seeding. This plant makes an very good choice for erosion control, and also provides forage and cover for birds and other wildlife. It is an excellent ornamental grass, and grows well in marshy areas as well as prairies.
Seed Saving: At the end of the season, the seed heads will begin to ripen. Strip the mature switchgrass seed from the stem and store it in a cool, dry place.

Switch grass seeds
The seeds came quickly all the way across the country everwilde was very professional I would absolutely buy from them again
Quality!
I appreciate how most of the seeds sprout and have a high germination rate. If the seeds are not disturbed by others using a lawnmower or unexpected changes to the garden, these seeds will grow and if not in the same year, they will show up next year to my surprise since I usually forget I planted them! A truly fun tradition to plant speciality seeds!
Shipping of seeds
I received my packages of seeds in a very timely manner. The packages are in great shape. I will write another review after planting the seeds and they germinate.

Thanks for the near immediate response to my purchase of Tote Pole grass seed. The order was fulfilled faster than I ever expected and the seeds I ordered are now being propogated. Great service!

this company is very helpful in getting orders placed and seeing that you are satisfied with that process. While it will be next year before I see the results of my purchase everything else I've purchased from them has grown nicely so this will likely also do so.
