When moisture is adequate, plants reach a height of 2 to 5 feet. As they age they tend to become somewhat fibrous and tough.
Branches bearing the seedheads are tall and slender, occurring singly or in pairs.
Occurrence Weeping lovegrass is an introduction from South Africa and occurs in Arizona largely where seeded. It appears to be well adapted to areas where precipitation is 17 inches or more, but will probably not withstand temperatures that fall much lower than 10 F. below zero. Forage Value Weeping lovegrass has a reputation in its native Africa of being a good forage producer well liked by cattle. Arizona observations have shown that this grass is frequently preferred above many native grasses, particularly in the spring. On most Arizona ranges where it is adapted, it apparently should be rated as a highly productive, moderately palatable species.
