RC Tecumseh Switchgrass

RC Tecumseh Switchgrass is the first new upland switchgrass release since 1989 for the Great Plains.
  • Tall height and excellent yield potential – can reach 6-7′+ tall in the Midwest
  • It is both heat and drought tolerant (better drought tolerance than Cave-in-Rock switchgrass)
    Genetically improved for ease of establishment, upright growth habit and increased height, making it an ideal choice for high quality habitat for deer
  • Low lodging potential.
  • Great winter hardiness and persistence, tested to be winter hardy to zone 3B
  • Great for wildlife bedding and protection or screens
  • RC Tecumseh was selected for reduced seed dormancy and increased seedling vigor
  • It has a wide regional adaptation to the Great Plains and is an excellent choice for low fertility soils in the Midwest prone to summer drought stress
  • In the Midwest it can be used in a mixture with RC Big Rock or RC Sundance
  • Best adapted to regions that receive on average less than 30″ of average annual precipitation.
