Love Grass

Eragrostis curvula Totnes Burgundy

• Position: full sun
• Soil: medium to light, poor to moderately fertile, well-drained soil
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: August to September
• Hardiness: hardy

A beautiful, mound-forming perennial grass with arching leaves that turn wine-red as they mature. In late summer and early autumn it produces masses of grey, nodding spikelets. A fabulous new ornamental grass that looks great grown in a sunny border. It copes well with drought once established and the flowers look lovely in dried flower arrangements.           

• Garden care: Cut to the ground in early spring. Divide plants between mid-spring and early summer.
