| Hi, I'm planting a combination of Big Bluestem, Indian Grass and Switch Grass, probably with 3" potted plants from Prairie Nursery. I know there are many variables to consider, but approximately how much spacing shall I give the plants.
Thanks, Anne |

| when you get the plugs from Prairie Nursery the labels will tell you what the spacing should be. i usually put them a little bit closer than what they reccommend... i think i have spaced some around 8" to 12"... maybe less. |

| Are you planning mostly grass or a prairie effect with flowering plants too? If you want room for flowers between the grasses, try spacing at 2 to 3 feet. Indian grass and Big blue stem grow mostly upright but switch grasses are wider. |
