Molinia Caerulea | Edith Dudszus

This low growing ornamental grass forms beautiful clumps of blue green foliage standing about 12 in tall at maturity. Deep purple black flowers appear midsummer, protruding from the mound in a rounded shape. The plumes are heavier than those of many other varieties of Molinia. Seed heads persist all winter through rain, snow, wind and cold. One of the things I love about Molinas is that they emerge early in the spring while many of the other grasses are still dormant. A great addition to the meadow garden Edith Dudszus puts on a striking fall show, with foliage turning a vibrant bronze-gold.
