Description
Purple Love Grass is a warm-season ornamental grass that adds a soft, airy glow to sunny Massachusetts gardens. Its fine-textured, clumping foliage supports graceful pink-purple seed heads that dance in the breeze. Purple Love Grass thrives in dry, sandy soils and full sun, making it ideal for low-maintenance borders or native meadow gardens. It spreads slowly by rhizomes and offers late-season interest as other plants fade.
This drought-tolerant grass is a great choice for erosion control or as a low-traffic lawn alternative. Purple Love Grass is especially beautiful when mass planted or used along pathways, where its color can be fully appreciated. It goes dormant in winter, but its dried seed heads continue to add texture. Purple Love Grass is a charming and resilient choice for Massachusetts landscapes.
