Eragrostis spectabilis
Purple Love Grass
The flowers of this grass float
over green foliage late summer-fall in a light airy purple haze creating a soft texture to
the garden. This genus gets the name Love Grass from the middle ages when
ladies in long dresses would walk through the fields and the flower
panicles would stick to their dresses. The flowers would work their way up
the dress and tickle the women's legs. Full sun. Height 18". Will spread
by seed but looks good in masses anyway. Not long lived so you may want to
let it seed a little. Try in containers too! Native to the Eastern US.
Z5-9
