Purpletop is a perennial warm season bunchgrass generally found in meadows, roadsides, and open woodlands. This grass boasts a decorative pyramid shaped purple seed head in mid to late summer. It is best adapted to areas with more than 30 inches of annual rainfall and prefers well drained, infertile, shallow and rocky soils. Purpletop is tolerant of road salt so it often colonizes roadsides. Works well alone or in mixes with other warm season grasses.
