Weeping Lovegrass is a warm-season grass that grows in tight tufts with long leaves drooping back to the ground. The seedheads grow on open, airy looking panicles that extend far above the leaves in late summer to fall. Prefers full sun and dry well-drained soils. Acts as an annual in low winter temperatures.
