Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea ‘Karl Foerster’
at Digging Dog
Moor Grass
Innovative landscape architect Wolfgang Oehme, who has included more than a million ornamental grasses in his designs since 1975, considers Molinias to be some of the very best performers of them all. Certainly the most kinetically exciting grass, Molinia’s sturdy stems hold the delicate,
straw-colored panicles all season above dense, arching tufts of deep green foliage. To heighten the drama, give them plenty of room and a dark background. Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea ‘Karl Foerster’ 
See-through, delicate plumes on upright and arching stems energetically leap skybound from a green, 2-½ ft. tall foliar pedestal. Bearing the name of the legendary German nurseryman Karl Foerster, this Molinia’s gossamerlike inflorescences first emerge suffused in purply raisin shades, and by fall gilded highlights set the lofty blooms aglow, further heightening the butter yellow hues of the stalks and leaves below.
Blooms June – November. Size: 6'–7' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4. AVAILABLE SUMMER 2012 Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea ‘Karl Foerster’ (G-0486)
