Weeping lovegrass (Eragrostis curvula) is a grass prized for its beauty and versatility. This hardy perennial forms dense clumps with graceful, arching leaves that can reach up to 1.2 meters long. Its long lifespan and extensive root system make it well-suited to drier areas. Weeping lovegrass attracts seed-eating birds and provides grazing for livestock. Traditionally, its tough fibers were used to craft baskets, brooms, and even candles. If you’re looking for a low-maintenance ornamental grass for your water-wise garden, weeping lovegrass thrives in well-drained soil and requires just an annual cutback.
