Eragrostis elliottii - FIELD LOVE GRASS
Showy airy grass with thin green-gray leaves and fluffy white seedheads.
Usually sold under cultivar names 'Wind Dancer' or 'Blue Eros', which are miss-named trade names or common names. Other common names are Blue Love Grass or Ellitt's Love Grass.
This grass is native to southern and south eastern states, found in open woodlands, sandy areas and prairies and is hardy in zones 6 to 8. See the USDA distribution map.
Usually 3-3.5' tall x 3' wide clumps, very effective airy, with significant gray tone. Good nesting material for birds. Deer resistant plant.
Full sun, medium to dry, but always drained soils. Grows well in sandy soils too. Tolerant to black walnut and air pollution.
Warm season grass (that develops in summer), best for naturalizing, naturalistic or prairie plantings in drained soils, erosion control on dry slopes, for bigger containers, or cut flower garden.
