PRESALE

Spring 2026 Shipping Schedule: 2/27/2026


Our national attention is turning to climate change. All the data say it's crunch time, and that plants are essential for building communities that can withstand these changes. A 2016 report from the EPA explored ways green infrastructure can improve community resiliency. Experts and stakeholders outlined strategies to help communities prepare for and mitigate the effects of climate change. Strategies included managing flood risk, reducing urban heat island effects, and decreasing the energy needed to manage water. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be part of the answer in all the case studies cited in the EPA report. Grasses and sedges anchor the plantings that help clean our water, reduce flooding, and lessen the effects of rising temperatures. Let's work towards a better environment.

About this Variety

Panicum virgatum ‘Heavy Metal’ is a favorite switchgrass, well-loved for its dramatic, metallic blue foliage and for its strong upright habit that remains standing straight and tall. Pink-tinted, airy blooms appear in July, highlighting the color of its blue leaves. This blue switchgrass serves as a colorful backdrop to other grasses and perennials, looks stunning in masses, and provides a focal point when used as a specimen. A cultivar of native Panicum virgatum, it is an easy choice for meadows and naturalized areas as it not picky about soil and is very drought tolerant. Panicum virgatum ‘Heavy Metal’ does best in full sun; refrain from over fertilizing. It is one of the oldest and most well-known blue cultivars of Panicum.

Firm/No Pillowcase To Fit/Gives Full Neck & Head Support
Color: White, Size: Standard
While the material cover is soft and the filling in the pillow itself is soft, there is too much filling stuffed inside. But to be fair I have a serious neck problem. I feel that if we were given the option to remove some of the filling to meet our comfort level then this would be the perfect pillow. I have been trying to find a pillow with that option. I will be cutting the pillow to remove the filling and place it in another pillow that has a zipper on the side to add inside. Over the yrs that pillow stuffing has become lumpy and needed replacing and can’t find another like it or the right filling. Luckily this pillow has the right stuffing so I am happy with my purchase. My husband has the second pillow and does agree with me that it is a bit on the firm side but he likes the firmness of it and it does support his head & neck well and it is comfortable. Only big issue for us is that there are no pillowcases to fit. When trying to fit a pillowcase on it - it makes the pillow way too tight & firm and uncomfortable. They need to make a pillowcase for this pillow. A standard, Queen, king does not fit. UPDATE: 1/13/2025 This order came with 2 pillows. My husband has the 2nd pillow and so far he has no complaints with the pillow. For me to be fair I have serious issues with my neck. I have a lot of hardware in my neck including several small rods in my neck so to find a good pillow to be comfortable is very difficult to find. My only solution is to have a pillow with a zipper which I can remove or add the filling as needed, it just has to be the right kind of filling. This pillow has the right kind of filling to where I can put inside my original pillow that I have. Over time the filling just becomes lumpy and uncomfortable to which I need to refill with new filling. After a long search I found this pillow which had the same kind of filling I’ve been looking for to restuff my pillow. So with that said I can’t really review this product myself except to say that it has the right filling inside to help me with my sleeping but I can say with what my husband tells me which is he has no complaints, in fact he is happy with it and it supports his head & neck well. If you have a serious neck problem this might not be the pillow for you unless you already have a pillow with a zipper and can restuff it with any kind of filling then I do recommend the filling in this pillow. Sorry for the long review but I do hope it helps anyone who is struggling and is in the same situation as me.

Quality maintained
Color: White, Size: Queen
A client I service has these. She said she got them YEARS ago at Macy’s. Each time I change her linens I admire them for their plumpness. I found the well worn name tag then ordered hoping the quality hadn’t fallen since “years ago.” As pillows differ for everyone, I have found MY comfort level with this pillow.

Good quality and soft, but not for everybody.
Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
These pillows are super comfortable if you like thick, firm ones. I absolutely loved them, they feel high-quality and supportive, but they are very thick, and after a while, I started getting some neck pain. That said, over time they do soften up a bit and start to mold better to your body, which helps. I’d definitely recommend them for anyone who likes big, firm pillows, but they’re probably not the best choice for people who prefer something softer or lower.

Soft & support
Color: White, Size: Queen
These pillows are perfect! I was looking for a cushy, lower profile pillow for side sleeping. So soft, supportive and comfortable! I could not believe the high quality at such an affordable price! They are queen size, so I need to purchase new longer pillow cases.

Color: White, Size: Queen, Color: White, Size: Queen
Muy buenas y cómodas solo la tengo hace 2 días ojalá no se desinflan como otras que yo he comprado , pero si son comodisimas si en un mes se mantienen igual pienso comprar 2 mas They are very good and comfortable. I’ve only had them for two days—I really hope they don't go flat like others I've bought—but they truly are extremely comfortable. If they stay just like this after a month, I plan to buy two more.
