Purple Moor-Grass

Molinia caerulea subsp. caerulea Strahlenquelle

• Soil: any moist but well-drained, preferably acid to neutral soil
• Rate of growth: slow-growing
• Flowering period: July - September

  A graceful grass with widely arching green blades. In late summer, flowers spikes rise above the fountain-like mounds and create a lovely, airy effect - it is perfect for adding movement to the border. This is an incredibly versatile plant as it works well in mass plantings, provides a great partner to herbaceous perennials where it adds textural contrast, or it can be potted up into containers and placed on a patio.
  
  
• Garden care: Cut back in early spring before the new foliage appears.
