Special Order Call 800-888-1371
Weeping lovegrass, Eragrostis curvula, is a rapidly growing warm-season bunchgrass that was introduced into the U. S. from East Africa. The many long, narrow leaves emerging from a tight tuft are pendulous, with the tips almost touching the ground. The drooping leaf characteristic gives rise to the name weeping lovegrass. Leaf height is rarely above 12 inches. The seed heads are open panicles, reaching a height of 30 to 40 inches and containing numerous small, fine seeds.
Weeping lovegrass prefers a light-textured, well-drained soil, and will thrive in soils of low fertility. Climatic conditions determine its range of adaptation. Low Winter temperatures will prevent regrowth and cause the grass to act as an annual or a short-lived perennial.
