Grass Heavy Metal Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum 'Heavy Metal') 2gl

Heavy Metal Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum 'Heavy Metal') is a striking North American native ornamental grass valued for its rigid, columnar form and distinctive metallic blue-gray foliage. Hardy in USDA zones 4–9, this 4–5 foot tall, 2–3 foot wide perennial thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Its upright growth habit and cool-toned color make it an excellent choice for adding vertical interest and texture to garden beds, borders, and landscape designs. Low-maintenance once established, it tolerates drought and poor soil conditions, making it ideal for sustainable landscaping. The foliage deepens to burgundy tones in fall, extending seasonal appeal. Perfect for modern gardens, native plantings, and mixed perennial borders.
