About This Plant

Deer resistant, this hardy grass is a fantastic plant in sunny, dry or sandy soils. It's a warm season grass, meaning it actively grows during the summer when soil temperatures are warm. It spreads slowly via rhizomes. Its seed heads give an ethereal vibe with their hazy purple form.
