Molinia caerulea Windsaule - Purple Moor-grass

<strong>The <a href="https://en.promessedefleurs.eu/perennials/ornamental-grasses/ornamental-grasses-by-variety/molinia.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">molinia</a> is a very hardy and structurally significant perennial grass</strong> with beautiful linear and arching, trailing leaves. In spring, it produces a <strong>thick tuft of foliage</strong>, and then in mid-summer, it unfurls its <strong>large panicles</strong>, which will remain in place for a long time, revealing stunning golden hues at the end of the season... This is a plant that truly shines in autumn! The most common is the <strong>blue molinia, <em>Molinia caerulea</em>,</strong> but there are various varieties available, offering a choice of shades, forms, and heights. For example, discover the varieties ‘Moorhexe’, ‘Skyracer’, ‘Transparent’, or ‘Variegata’! Molinia grasses are large herbs with impeccable graphics, bringing a very airy and light quality. They integrate well into both <strong>naturalistic borders</strong> and <strong>contemporary, graphic gardens</strong>, and are ideal for creating beautiful autumn scenes. The tallest and most imposing are <em>Molinia arundinacea</em>, which have a superb silhouette, perfect for structuring borders. Molinia grasses are so light and airy that they offer a transparent effect, allowing the eye to pass through them... Therefore, it is best to avoid planting them at the back of borders! <strong>Molinia grasses thrive in cool, rather acidic soils.</strong> They can easily be planted at the edge of a pond. They require almost no maintenance: simply <strong>cut back the foliage at the end of winter</strong>, around March. They can be propagated by sowing or dividing clumps in spring.
