RC Tecumseh Switchgrass is a perennial, warm season native grass that grows to heights of 6'-7' feet tall on average but can reach heights of 7'+ in high nutritional soils. RC Tecumseh Switchgrass is a new early season variety of upland switchgrass developed from Summer switchgrass. It's a best choice for lighter soils, it is both heat and drought tolerant (better drought tolerance than Cave-in-Rock). It takes 2-3 years to reach mature height. It is highly adaptable to a wide range of soils and growing conditions. RC Tecumseh is genetically improved for ease of establishment, upright growth habit and increased height, making it an ideal choice for high quality habitat for deer. Small seeded variety that works very well for frost seeding. Very good winter hardiness and persistence, tested to be winter hardy to zone 3B. Grows well on diverse soil types throughout the Great Plains. It is very well suited to low fertility sandy soils in the Upper Midwest.
