Purple Love Grass (Eragrostis spectabilis)
Purple Love Grass is a beautiful, native ornamental grass that lights up the garden with delicate purple-pink plumes in late summer and fall. Its airy seed heads float like a colorful haze above fine green foliage, adding softness and movement to the landscape.
This perennial grass thrives in poor, sandy soils and requires little maintenance once established. It is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and attracts birds and pollinators with its seeds and flowers. Purple Love Grass is ideal for naturalized plantings, prairie gardens, borders, and erosion control.
