Love Grass - Purple

Love Grass Purple

Eragrostis Spectabilis (Purple Love Grass) - Native on sandy, disturbed, or infertile soils. Purple Love Grass forms 2 foot tall, spreading clumps of coarse blades which transform in late summer into a fine textured haze of purplish flowers. Short-lived but naturalizing by seed, use Purple Love Grass liberally on bad soil in full sun where it might establish a low maintenance colony.

Blooming Summer-Fall, the purple frothiness of the flowers look their best planted in-mass next to blue foliaged plants or yellow flowered plants for contrast. Great for a natural look, or wildlife garden. Eragrostis provides nesting cover for ground birds and attracts butterflies. The foliage turns a pretty red-bronze in Fall. Grows 18 - 24" tall, spreads slowly by rhizomes and reseeds. Eragrostis spectabilis is native to the East & Midwest United States.
