Product Details

Product Information
Alamo Switchgrass has numerous roots, reaching to 10 ft. deep, as well as underground rhizomes, making it an important grass for use in conservation programs. Alamo Switchgrass grows to a height of 3 to 8 ft. tall, depending on the variety. With supplemental irrigation in areas with less than 20 in. of rainfall, Switchgrass is an excellent forage during Summer. It should be protected from grazing until established because of high palatability.
Leaving a 10 in. stubble will maintain plant stands and vigor, and produce palatable high production for grazing of hay. Switchgrass is readily eaten by all classes of livestock. The seeds are smooth, and can be planted through small seed boxes. Planting depth should be about 1/4 to 1/2 in. Planting should be done in early Spring, preferably March to May. Plant in a firm, well-prepared seedbed, or in cover crop if soil is subject to erosion.
Seeding rate is 1 to 2 pure live seed lbs. per acre, planted approximately 1/4 to 1/2 in. deep. "Alamo" grows to a height of 5 to 8 ft. tall.

Thank you for choosing Hancock Seed!
United StatesI was pleased that seeds were packaged well. Our delivery person put them on our side porch and it rained and they were in a cardboard box. Had they not been in a super great bag they would’ve been ruined. Thanks for great products!
Thank you for the review!
I bought this for my grandson to plant for the deer on their property. I ordered it just a few days before Christmas and wasn't sure if it would arrive in time. But your fast service got it here two days early. I also appreciated the emails updating the progress of the order.
Judy, we appreciate your business with our company. Have a wonderful day!
