DESCRIPTION

Truly remarkable Heavy Metal Switch Grass (Panicum virgatum Heavy Metal) has an upright, columnar growth habit that makes it ideal for adding rhythm and structure to plantings. As tough-sounding as its name, this native plant cultivar doesn't flop after heavy rains, likes moist soil but tolerates drought and overwinters in style. A garden should stimulate all the senses, and this grass provides music for your ears with its rustling foliage. Attractive, pink-tinged flowers ripen into golden seed heads, and though dormant, the plant maintains its upright form throughout the winter.

The large plants came in pots, very nicely packed. Already in the ground.

Do not plant in heat of Summer

Plants arrived in in good condition. Planted in clay soil and have watered regularly. Could not tolerate either the sun or Texas heat. Lost them all.

Heavy Metal Switch Grass

Hopeful

The grass arrived in good condition. I am hopeful they will grow. Growing plants on the mountain can be a hit or miss. The Greenhouse Nursery has been awesome.

Grasses & Roses

Little babies arrived perfectly packaged. The grasses are in the ground, no growth yet, still short and stubbly, they should sprout soon! Can’t wait to see them grow.
