Tridens Flavus Purpletop Grass

Tridens flavus, commonly known as Purpletop Grass, is an ornamental, warm-season grass notable for its loose, airy panicles that emerge a striking purple color before maturing to tan. Reaching heights of 2-4 feet, this native grass has an upright growth habit, adding vertical interest and soft movement to gardens and meadows. It thrives in full sun and is highly adaptable to various soil types, including dry or rocky soils. Blooming from late summer to early fall, Purpletop Grass provides excellent wildlife habitat and is valued for its low maintenance, drought tolerance, and natural beauty in prairie-style plantings or native landscapes.
