Zone: 2HEAVY METAL SWITCH GRASS
What a favorite! This cultivar is much loved for its stiff, upright habit and metallic blue-gray foliage that retains its upright appearance through the growing season. It does not fall over during heavy rains! Pinkish flower panicles extend above the foliage in July which contrast well with its blue blades. By fall it takes a warm golden tone. Heavy Metal Switch Grass is perfect for naturalized prairies and meadows. Its seed heads provide winter interest.

To help Panicum virgatum types settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in full sun in average, well-draining soil. It is incredibly adaptable, tolerating a wide range of soil conditions, including heavy clay and periodic wetness, and it becomes quite drought-tolerant once its extensive root system is established. Avoid over-fertilizing, as excess nutrients can cause the stems to become weak and prone to flopping. Cut the foliage back to the ground in late winter or early spring to prepare for a fresh season of growth.
