Quick Facts

Description:

4-5’ x 15-18” wide (division propagated). This perfectly named native grass is incredibly beautiful and adds a touch of class to any garden. The metallic-blue foliage grows tightly and vertically. And it won’t flop over, even under snow! Introduced by grass expert Kurt Bluemel, ‘Heavy Metal’ is a tough, long-lived, warm-season bunch grass that contrasts nicely when planted next to mounding Artemisia ‘Powis Castle’.

Grown in premium 5” deep pots.

Zones 4-9.
