Heavy Metal Switch Grass for Sale Online

Panicum 'Heavy Metal' is a standout ornamental grass known for its stiff, upright habit and striking metallic blue foliage that adds a bold architectural element to any garden. This switchgrass variety is prized for its distinctive color and strong vertical presence, making it an ideal choice for borders, screens, or as a focal point in modern and traditional landscapes alike.

Reaching a mature height of 3 to 5 feet, 'Heavy Metal' thrives in full sun and adapts well to a range of soil types, including clay and sandy soils. It is also highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a perfect option for low-maintenance gardens and xeriscaping. As summer progresses, the blue-green leaves are complemented by airy, golden flower panicles that emerge in late summer, adding movement and texture to the garden.

Panicum 'Heavy Metal' is not only beautiful but also incredibly resilient. It is deer-resistant, easy to care for, and maintains its upright form even under challenging weather conditions. In the fall, the foliage takes on warm hues of yellow and tan, providing multi-seasonal interest that extends well into winter.
