Description
The Purple Tears Switch Grass features slender blades that emerge in shades of green with hints of purple, creating a striking visual display.

This color evolution adds interest and dimension to borders, containers, or mass plantings, making it a versatile choice for any garden design.
In late summer to early fall, Purple Tears Switch Grass produces delicate flower panicles that rise above the foliage, creating a graceful and airy effect. These feathery plumes sway gently in the breeze, adding movement and texture to the garden.

Not only is Purple Tears Switch Grass aesthetically pleasing, but it is also incredibly resilient and low-maintenance. This hardy grass is tolerant of a wide range of soil conditions and thrives in full sun to partial shade, making it adaptable to various garden settings. Its compact clumping habit ensures that it remains tidy and contained, requiring minimal upkeep throughout the year.
