Moor Grass
Innovative landscape architect Wolfgang Oehme, who included more than a million ornamental grasses in his designs, considered Molinias to be some of the very best performers of them all. Certainly the most kinetically exciting grass, Molinia’s dense arching tufts of deep green foliage offer sturdy stems holding delicate panicles that eventually age to a straw color and last for months. To heighten the drama, consider providing plenty of room and a dark background.
An exquisite German selection of Moor Grass, this Molinia’s wispy, flaxen-hued inflorescences nimbly prance on 2 ft. slender stems above a pleasing, compact clump of arching and slender green blades. ‘Moorflamme’ turns a vivid orange-red in autumn and clearly proclaims its colorful intensity.
Blooms June–October
