SAND LOVE GRASS is a vigorous, long-lived, native bunchgrass that grows on sandy soils of the central and southern parts of the Great Plains. Plants normally grow to 3 to 6 feet. The elongated seed heads are sometimes half as tall as the plant and have a distinctive purple color. The slightly hairy leaf blades are 1/ 4 inch wide and about 12 inches long. Leafy foliage, primarily basal (arising from the base of a stem), is abundant. Extensive deep root system make this grass drought tolerant and holds soils in place. Also does well in large containers. 1000+ Seeds per order.
