A truly stunning & adaptable native bunchgrass. Known for its airy 
purple clusters of florets that dance above the mounded grass clumps in August. Seed heads fade to tan-brown by October then detach, rolling like tumbleweeds to sew seeds. 
Adds unique color & interest to gardens. 
Grows in full sun up to 1-2 ft tall in a range of harsh soil conditions.
Thrives in infertile, dry, sandy, gravelly loam. 
Good for erosion control.
Tolerant to drought & black walnut. 
Spreads by self-seeding & runner roots.
Foliage provides habitat for butterflies, moths, & wildlife.
Seed heads provide food source for birds.
