Eragrostis trichodes--Sand Lovegrass is easily grown in average, dry to medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun.  It tolerates hot, dry sites. Although it tolerates some shade (e.g., 1/4 day), it does poorly and will not flower well in too much shade. Cut back to ground in early spring before new growth appears.  Sand Lovegrass is a bunchgrass which flowers in mid summer.  The inflorscence is amethyst pink and is a loose, open, panicle.  Leaves turn bronze in fall and plant has continued interest well into the winter.
