Panicum virgatum Heavy Metal

Heavy Metal Switch Grass

Valued for its upright silhouette and metallic blue-gray foliage, which creates a striking effect in the garden. This ornamental grass, with airy flower spikes that emerge in late summer and turn pink or coppery in the fall, adds an extra dimension to the landscape. It is relatively drought tolerant once established, but moderate watering during the growing season is recommended to ensure vigor. This variety is ideal for beds, borders or gardens. In early winter, cut back the stems at the base to maintain good air circulation and encourage new growth in the spring.
