A coarse, native, perennial grass growing to 6 1/2′ with a fast-growing clump, Switchgrass has been used in stream bank, buffer, and transitional and slope stabilization, especially where sandy. It is an excellent soil stabilizer. This species can be aggressive, so it would be useful for competing with invasive or non-native species.
