Lehmann Lovegrass (Eragrostis lehmanniana) is a perennial grass native to Southwestern US states (such as Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas) and has also been successfully introduced across North America as a non-invasive conservation grass that can thrive in USDA Zones 7–10. Reaching a mature height of 1.5–3 feet with an upright to sprawling bunching growth habit, it features fine, smooth green leaf blades and produces open, delicate, reddish-brown seed panicles. It thrives in dry, sandy or gravelly desert soils in full sun and is ideal for arid land highway slope stabilization, desert soil reclamation, and wind erosion control.
This is is an annual wildflower that grows to about 1 to 3 feet tall. It produces bright yellow, daisy-like flowers and is often used in wildflower gardens or for erosion control. It prefers full sun and well-drained soils and is commonly found in grasslands and open woodlands.
