Eragrostis spectablis (Purple Love Grass)
|
|
A beautiful addition to the late summer landscape in gardens both small and large is this most attractive ornamental grass from the U.S.A. where it grows in sandy soil in full sun. It forms dense compact clumps of dull green leaves which are virtually completely concealed once the plant comes into bloom. Like coloured clouds hovering just above the ground, it bears volumes of fine-textured, brilliant purple-red flowers that fade to a soft brown in autumn and make rather lovely cut flowers.
Height & Spread 60cm (2ft), 2-5 years to maturity.
