Domain RC Sundance Switchgrass Habitat Seed
Premium Switchgrass Seed for Whitetail Bedding, Screening & Wildlife Habitat
Domain RC Sundance Switchgrass is an elite early-season switchgrass variety designed for serious wildlife habitat improvement, whitetail bedding cover, CRP plantings, and property screening. Developed from a cross between RC Chippewa (an early Cave N Rock selection) and improved Sunburst genetics, Sundance offers exceptional drought tolerance, winter hardiness, and adaptability across a wide range of soil conditions and climates.
Built for performance in the Midwest, Northern, and Central regions, Domain RC Sundance Switchgrass establishes faster than many traditional switchgrass varieties thanks to its heavier seed weight, improved vigor, and reduced dormancy. It produces dense upright growth reaching heights of 5–7 feet, creating outstanding thermal cover, security bedding, travel corridors, and screening for deer and other wildlife.
Unlike many habitat grasses, Sundance thrives in poor soils, sandy conditions, and even moderately drained areas prone to seasonal flooding. Its durability and adaptability make it an excellent long-term habitat solution for both small hunting properties and large-scale land management programs.
Whether planted alone or combined with RC Big Rock for layered habitat structure, Domain RC Sundance Switchgrass helps create secure environments that hold deer and improve overall property functionality year after year.
