I never thought about using the old, dead grasses for nesting. I think I will try that out. Last spring, I had a container with the annual dichondra silver falls, and a robin used it all up for a nest! It was fun watching it go back and forth, carrying the long strands up to the nest.
Hi! I found your video since I have a northwest facing border and am wondering if I have enough sun to plant switchgrass. In the middle of summer it gets a decent amount of direct sun from 2:00-7:00 PM or so. It looks like you have yours against a wall with plants in front of it and it's doing okay? Do you think part sun will work or should I not bother?

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I love Robbins too...
Love them ❤
Thank you for your wonderful videos, I'm really enjoying starting up my native gardens!
Thanks for the comment and good luck gardening!
Grasses are often neglected in butterfly gardens and so are trees.
That's very true. Thanks for the comment 😊
Mostly interesting......but, the picture shows about 5 different plants. Why not show pictures of ONLY switchgrass?

Hi. Thanks for the comment. I think it should be fine with 5 hours of Sun.
