Panicum 'Blue Steel'

This graceful perennial grass forms tall, upright clumps of steel-blue foliage that create a striking, architectural presence in the garden. From summer into autumn, delicate, airy flower plumes rise above the foliage, adding movement, texture, and visual interest while swaying in the breeze.

Ideal for mixed borders, naturalistic plantings, or as a specimen in contemporary gardens, it blends beautifully with flowering perennials and other ornamental grasses, offering both contrast and cohesion. The bold colour and upright form provide year-round structure, and the seed heads persist into winter, enhancing seasonal interest.

Thriving in full sun with well-drained soil, it is highly resilient, drought-tolerant, and low-maintenance once established. Occasional trimming in late winter encourages fresh growth and maintains a tidy appearance.

A perfect choice for gardeners seeking architectural form, cool-toned foliage, and seasonal movement, this grass adds elegance, texture, and long-lasting appeal to sunny garden spaces with minimal effort.
