RC Big Rock Switchgrass is a newer variety in the switchgrass world and is highly adaptable to a variety of regions and growing conditions, much like its counterpart, Cave-N-Rock. While they are similar, RC Big Rock is known to establish quicker, grow taller, and offer better winter hardiness.
RC Big Rock Switchgrass is a later maturing variety that is genetically produced to grow taller, with 6–8 feet of potential height, making it one of the tallest growing switchgrass varieties on the market. In addition to its height, RC Big Rock features a heavier seed weight, improved vigor, and reduced dormancy.
This multi purpose switchgrass has excellent winter hardiness and strong upright growth, allowing it to handle harsh winter weather throughout the Midwest.
Similar to Cave-N-Rock switchgrass, it is highly adaptable with a wide planting region, performing well in the Midwest, Northeast, and Central US.
With its ability to grow 6–8 feet tall, RC Big Rock Switchgrass offers incredible wildlife habitat for pheasants and deer alike.
