Switch Grass ‘Heavy Metal’

Panicum virgatum ‘Heavy Metal’ is a native switch grass for zones 4-9 that grows best in full sun with low to medium moisture. Stiff, metallic blue blades grow in a rigidly upright habit, creating a strong vertical accent that never requires staking. Airy pink-tinged panicles appear in late summer, hovering above the foliage like clouds. Yarmouth gardeners appreciate this cultivar’s excellent drought tolerance, minimal care requirements, and golden fall color that adds warmth to autumn landscapes.
