Ptilagrostis Purpurea

Purple hairgrass, scientifically known as Ptilagrostis purpurea, is a striking ornamental grass native to parts of Asia and the Americas. Its name derives from its distinctive purple-tinted foliage and the fine, hair-like texture of its blades. This plant thrives in moist, well-drained soils and is often found in wetlands, marshes, and along water bodies. With its elegant appearance and adaptability, it has become a popular choice for landscaping and ecological restoration projects. Its unique coloration and resilience make it a valuable addition to both natural and cultivated environments.
