Purple Love Grass is tough as nails - but can create such a soft and ethereal effect in a meadow. This native warm-season grass is erupts in billowing red-purple panicles - that seem to glow in the later summer sun. The flowers persist into fall, gradually fading to a wheat-colored fluff that adds winter texture and seeds for songbirds. This plant can withstand drought, salt, pollution - the worst of it.
