Panicum virgatum ‘Heavy Metal' (Blue Switch Grass) is a choice ornamental native grass named for its attractive, stiffly upright blue-gray foliage. It blooms with attractive tan flowering sprays in late summer.
Panicum virgatum ‘Heavy Metal' (Blue Switch Grass) is well named. This durable ornamental native grass has attractive, stiffly upright blue-gray foliage and attractive tan flowering sprays in late summer. Grow it in full sun and a little on the dry side to bring out the metallic color of the foliage. This variety is one of the very best Panicum and difficult to find. This ornamental grass is a long-lived perennial that thrives in all types of soil across much of the US.
Flat of 9 plants will cover 18-27 square feet when planted together

I would buy this plant again.
"One was not packed very well and I wasn't sure if it would pull through. I kept it watered real well and it finally taking off. It's behind in growth from the other two but I' m sure it well be fine next year. It's been so hot this summer all my new plants have struggled. Love my plants. Love this company."
— Char B. (5/5)
Great ornamental grass
"Plant it close to an outdoor seating area, so you can enjoy the sight and sound of it's movement in the wind."
— Gloria (5/5)
