Description
Purple Love Grass is a compact native grass with rosy panicles floating above the foliage and simply glowing against the sunlight. It is listed as one of famed landscape designer Piet Oudolf’s 100 Must-Have Plants. Set plants at the front of the perennial border or raised in rock gardens where the sun can catch them, or in meadows or prairie gardens alongside flowering natives such as Asters, Liatris, and Goldenrod. The airy seed heads are used to add texture to dried flower arrangements. Often found on sandy or disturbed sites, purple love grass provides excellent erosion control and naturalizes readily. The native range extends from Maine to Wyoming, south to Florida and Arizona, and includes dry prairies, upland savannas, open woods, and limestone glades. Provide full sun and dry, well-drained, sandy, or gravelly soil. Purple Love Grass is drought tolerant, and can grow near black walnut trees. Watch for songbirds foraging on seeds in autumn.
Planting & Care
Shipping
No shipping data
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. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.
