Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea ‘Bergfreund’ 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 ‘Bergfreund’
Invite this “friend of the mountain” into your garden bed and it will quickly become your friend as well. Dynamic yet not too imposing, a gauzy array of gently pendulous, rich-colored reddish purple panicles mingle on dark green upright stems. Handsome foliage forms a low green stage that radiates yellow hues in autumn. Studded with ricelike beads transmuting warm chestnut hues when mature, the airy plumes should be headlined right up front where they become a mysterious veil that you can peer through.
Blooms June–October. Size: 4'–5' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 4. Molinia caerulea ssp. arundinacea ‘Bergfreund’ (G-0489) Each $8.50
