Design with this plant

Overview

Eragrostis elliottii 'Wind Dancer', a graceful perennial, thrives in USDA zones 5 to 10. This clumping lovegrass stands 3 to 4 feet tall, spreading 2 to 3 feet wide. Feathered seed heads shimmer atop fine blue-green foliage from late summer through fall, offering subtle movement and a white frosted appearance. A sun-loving, drought-tolerant species, it requires well-draining soil, making it ideal for low-maintenance, airy accents in full-sun landscapes.
