Enjoy the colors from summer into fall with shiny 2 – 4 inch long reddish purple arching and drooping seed heads. This grass is very tolerant of adverse conditions including drought and clay. Purpletop Grass can provide important cover for wildlife, and it is a butterfly host plant. Birds will definitely enjoy the seeds as a food source.
