Eragrostis tenellula
Delicate lovegrass is a small clump-forming annual grass native to arid and semi-arid Australia, where it grows in deserts and dry scrublands. It is a wild grass with little horticultural cultivation, so it is best treated as a hardy, drought-tolerant annual in dry, sunny sites.
Eragrostis tenellula, the delicate lovegrass, is a species of flowering plant in the family Poaceae. It is native to Australia, except Tasmania. A clump-forming annual reaching 6 to 50 cm (2 to 20 in), it is found in deserts and dry scrublands in a variety of soil types.
