Purple Needle Grass: Nassella pulchra
Nassella pulchra is a perennial bunch grass producing tufts of erect, unbranched stems up to 3 feet tall. The extensive root system can reach 20 feet deep into the soil, making the grass more tolerant of drought.
California designated purple needlegrass as the official state grass in 2004.
