Purple Lovegrass (Eragrostis spectabilis)

Purple Lovegrass, Eragrostis spectabilis displays flat green blades that send up a cloud of airy, reddish-purple inflorescences in late summer that creates a soft haze in the garden. The foliage shades to reddish tones in fall. These rugged plants are tolerant of poor soil, drought, and air pollution. Superb in a mixed border with Echinacea, Rudbeckia, and Asters. Grows well in full sun and average garden soil.
