RC Sundance Switchgrass

A new early season, erect variety of upland switchgrass developed from crossing elite breeding lines of Cave-in-Rock and Sunburst
  • Tall height and excellent yield potential – can reach 6 1/2- 8′ tall depending on soil type and rainfall
  • Wide adaptability across the Upper Corn Belt and at least up to winterhardiness zone 4A in the Northern Great Plains. Best suited for use in zones 4 & 5 for habitat use and zones 4-6 for farm use.
  • It is drought tolerant, suitable for the Northern Great Plains to about 18” annual precipitation areas (much better drought tolerance than Cave-in-Rock)
  •  Genetically improved for low seed dormancy, increased seed size and exceptional establishment
  •  Maturity approximately 10 days earlier than Cave-in-Rock but approximately 4” taller
  •  Very good winter hardiness and persistence, tested to be winter hardy to zone 4A but likely can go into 3B
  •  Grows well on diverse soil types throughout its area of adaptation including imperfectly drained soils and soil subject to seasonal flooding. It is also well suited to low fertility sandy soils in the Upper Midwest. Does very well when drill seeded.
  •  A multi-purpose grass variety suited for forage, biomass, soil conservation and wildlife habitat applications. In the Midwest it can be used in a mixture with RC Big Rock. In frost seedings it can be mixed with RC Tecumseh.
