Purple Moor Grass 'Moorhexe'

Molinia caerulea 'Moorhexe' is a compact and striking cultivar of purple moor grass, highly prized in UK gardens for its slender, upright habit and rich autumnal colouration. It forms a dense clump of narrow, green leaves which provide a lovely backdrop. In mid to late summer, delicate, dark purple flower spikes emerge on stiff, upright stems, creating a shimmering effect that moves gracefully with the slightest breeze. As autumn approaches, the entire plant, including the foliage, transforms into beautiful shades of orange, russet, and deep purple, providing extended seasonal interest. 'Moorhexe' is an excellent choice for smaller gardens, borders, or naturalistic plantings, thriving in full sun to partial shade and moist, acidic soil. Its elegant form and vibrant autumn display make it a real asset.
