Eragrostis spectabilis / purple love grass
Eragrostis spectabilis, or Purple Love Grass, is a graceful, native ornamental grass known for its delicate, airy purple-pink flower plumes that bloom in late summer to early fall. The plant’s fine, slender foliage forms a compact mound, turning a striking golden bronze in the fall, providing seasonal interest throughout the year. Purple Love Grass thrives in well-drained, sandy soils and full sun, making it ideal for prairie or meadow-style gardens, as well as xeriscaping. Its soft, billowing texture adds movement and visual appeal to the landscape, while its long-lasting flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant grass is perfect for creating naturalistic, easy-care landscapes that still offer vibrant color and seasonal beauty.
