Sesleria caerulea


Blue Moor Grass

 USDA Zone: 4-9

Plant number: 8.318.050


This is a low, clump-forming grass with metallic, blue-green foliage. Small spikes of purple-black flowers appear in late spring. Useful in the rock garden as a foliage accent, but especially good for edging a sunny border. Combines nicely with daffodils and other spring blooming bulbs. Clumps may be easily divided in spring or fall. Drought tolerant once established. Evergreen in most regions.
