Description
Eragrostis spectabilis (Purple Love Grass) is a showy warm season
native grass that blooms in late summer with loose, open heads of
reddish-purple flowers that ripen to brown seed heads in the fall. Native to
the eastern half of the US, Purple Love Grass is a good choice for planting
sites with dry, sandy, or rocky soils. Tolerant of black walnuts and road salt
too, this grass is a great option for the most challenging conditions. Good for
mass planting and erosion control. Avoid rich loams and clay soil. As it is not
a long-lived grass, leave seed heads to encourage the plants to re-seed
themselves. Purple Love Grass makes a good companion for sandy soil lovers like
Coneflower (Ratibida), Prairie Tickseed (Coreopsis palmata), and Globe Mallow
(Sphaeralcea).
Shipping
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds.
