Eragrostis spectabilis (Purple Love Grass)

Eragrostis spectabilis, otherwise known as 'purple love grass', is a standout variety with light green foliage that blends into striking red through autumn. It also produces lovely, delicate red-purple flowers in late summer which fade to bronze with the foliage in autumn. Supplied in a 9cm pot.

Plant out as soon as possible. Plant in well dug prepared soil. Grow at the back of the border or free standing.

In late winter/spring cut out any dead foliage and remove the previous years flower stems. Wear gloves to protect hands from the sharp foliage.
