Description: Switch Grass is most attractive late summer to fall, with emerging, purple cloud-like seed heads that sport tiny attractive flowers, to dried golden foliage in fall. Consider not cutting Switch Grass back late fall in your garden; it holds up well in heavy snow providing winter cover for small mammals and land birds. Birds will also feed on the seeds and the dried foliage adds a splash of pale yellow to the winter landscape. In addition to the many birds and mammals that use Switch Grass, the Tawny-edge Skipper and the Delaware Skipper also use it as a host plant.
