Purple Needlegrass

Stipa pulchra

A feel-good grass, I work hard for the climate so you don’t have to. But I’m not just grass—I’m the grass of the Golden State. Bottom line? I’m purple, popular, and just a tad prickly.

I’m drought-adapted,
great for erosion, and
a carbon-sequester.

Plus, I’m easy to grow and tolerant of most soils.
Plant me in some sun, and I’ll show you why I’m
Cali’s state grass!
