Panicum virgatum ‘Heavy Metal’ (Heavy Metal Blue Switchgrass) is a striking ornamental grass prized for its strong upright form and metallic blue foliage that adds bold structure to the landscape. As summer progresses, airy clouds of pinkish flower panicles rise above the foliage, maturing into golden seed heads that provide winter interest and attract birds. In autumn, the steel-blue blades transition to warm shades of yellow and bronze, extending seasonal color. This native, low-maintenance, and drought-tolerant switchgrass thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, making it ideal for borders, screens, mass plantings, or naturalized gardens. Its durability and year-round appeal make it a standout choice for both formal and natural landscapes.
