General information about Moorgrass (Molinia) (Molinia):Moorgrass (Molinia) is a clump forming hardy grass with tall upright stems. Many varieties of Moorgrass display nice autumn colours. This grass grows well in the sun or half shade in most soils as long as moist enough and not alkaline. The tall species (Molinia arundinacea) are good as solitary plants. The less tall species (Molinia caerulea) look best planted in a group or in a large pot on the patio. The open form of Moorgrass lends itself well to a natural planting, together with Aster (Aster), Purple Loosestrife (Lythrum) and Yellow Loosestrife (Lysimachia punctata). The height mentioned with the plant is the flowering height. The foliage of Moorgrass is at about one third of the flowering height.Purple Moorgrass - Molinia caerulea 'Amber Glow'
