Purple Love Grass Is Known for Its Color Changes
Eragrostis Spectabilis is known and revered for its seasonal color changes. In the spring, the blades have a blue-green hue. In the summer, this ornamental plant grows purple spikelets. When those spikelets mature, they fall off the plant and are blown away, which is what earned it the nickname tumble. In the fall, gardeners can watch the leaves develop a bronze-red hue.
