Key information
Purple Moor Grass (Molinia caerulea) is a vivid green, upright, ornamental grass which is great for providing structure and height to a border.
Tiny dark purple feathery flowers emerge in the summer creating a haze effect. This grass adds texture and movement to full sun and partial gardens. In the autumn the grass turns tawny yellow providing interest through long periods of the year.
