Eragrostis curvula is a species of grass known by the common name weeping lovegrass.

The drooping leaves of the grass are up to 65 centimetres (2.13 ft) long but just a few millimeters wide, and they may have rolled edges.

It reached New York in the 1960s and in the 1970s and 80s it was planted alongside many highways such as the Long Island Expressway.

Today it occurs as an invasive species in wild habitat from the southwestern United States to the East Coast.

[1] It is tolerant of very acidic and very basic soils; it grows easily in mine spoils.

It is planted along waterways in Sri Lanka and mountainsides in Japan, and it is used for oversowing fields in Argentina.

[5] It is planted as a nurse crop for sericea lespedeza, coastal panic grass, and switchgrass.

[3][6] In Lesotho, this grass is used to make baskets, brooms, hats, ropes, and candles, and it is used for food, as a charm, and in funeral rituals.
