Eragrostis curvula Totnes Burgundy, despite its West Country name, is a type of deciduous African Love Grass that is particularly rewarding in high summer when the fine, inward curving foliage matures into a glorious shade of burgundy, hence its name. At the same time delicate flowers, borne on tall, slender stems, catch the slightest breeze like so much pretty froth.
