RC Haven Switchgrass

RC Haven Switchgrass is the newest RC switchgrass variety, developed from Sunburst genetics and selected for fast establishment, early maturity, strong drought tolerance, and exceptional winter standability.

RC Haven is the shortest RC switchgrass variety and is known for having the best winter standability in the RC lineup. It produces fewer but thicker stems that remain upright through heavy snow and winter storms, making it especially valuable for upland bird habitat where dependable winter cover and seed production help reduce winter mortality.

Highlights:

• Newest RC switchgrass variety

• Most drought tolerant RC variety
• Fewer but thicker stems for strong structure
