Description


An attractive and unusual cultivar of a North American prairie grass, Panicum virgatum 'Heavy Metal' is notable for its particularly upright clumps of steely, blue-grey leaves. From August to September, this bold, linear foliage is softened with a mass of hazy, cloud-like panicles of purplish pink flowers, bringing movement and an airy quality to your garden. Foliage turns a glorious golden yellow in autumn, before fading to buff. We like to leave this grass to provide structural form and a beneficial habitat for overwintering wildlife. Cut back just before new growth emerges in early spring. Mix with tall flowering perennials such as aster, echinacea and verbena, for a swaying, naturalistic effect. Prefers preferably light, moderately fertile, well-drained soil in full sun. H: 1.2m S: 1m. Hardy deciduous perennial.
