Sesleria
Moor Grass
This genus of reliable cool-season grasses pays homage to Leonardo Sesler, an 18th century Venetian botanist and physician who studied European flora. Sesleria’s long-lived carefree clump makes a superlative ground cover for intimate gardens or larger scale plantings.

Populating central and southern Italy and often found in calcium-rich mountainous areas, Gray Moor grass is the tallest Sesleria we offer. Dense, tufted mounds of narrow, pointy gray-green blades imbued with cool blue shades cushion the cone-shaped dark chocolate-colored blooms that don bright greenish yellow anthers. Drought tolerant near cooler coastal areas, Sesleria nitida maintains a winsome year-round presence plus makes a sturdy no-fuss candidate for mass plantings in larger gardens or singularly where space is limited.
Blooms May–early July
