'Heavy Metal' Switch Grass is a versatile ornamental grass known for its distinct metallic blue foliage. This clump-forming, warm season grass has an upright growth habit, with stiff green leaves and a columnar form. Its unique color is accented in the summer months, when the foliage is topped with finely textured pink-tinted flower panicles.

Despite displaying an open, airy look, Heavy Metal is strong, consistently maintaining its vertical shape and rarely falling over, even during periods of heavy rain. This adaptable grass works incredibly well as an anti-erosion plant, holding soil in place and helping to slow water runoff.

Heavy Metal is easy to care for, requiring minimal attention and upkeep, and fitting in beautifully with a variety of landscape designs. Use as a perennial border, in native gardens, or plant anywhere you want to add texture and interest. Heavy Metal also creates a haven for many different species of birds, offering plenty of seeds to eat and shelter from harsh weather conditions. Deer have no interest in this grass, making it an excellent choice for protecting your garden. Grow yours today!
