Sesleria

Moor grass is an unjustly overlooked ornamental grass that can add structure to the garden right from early spring. It originates from sunny and semi-shady rocky hillsides, where it naturally grows in permeable soils. It excels with exceptional frost resistance down to minus thirty-four degrees and absolute undemandingness, making it an ideal choice even for complete beginners. Moreover, the plant completely avoids all diseases and pests. Its bright and light green leaves sprout very early and retain their attractive appearance unusually long into winter. It forms compact clumps at a height of thirty to fifty centimeters. During August and September, tiny beige and white flower spikes gently peek out of them. It works wonderfully in mixed perennial beds or as a groundcover plant when planted out in a thirty-centimeter grid. It looks beautiful in combination with calamint, gaura, or oregano, to which it provides a calm and soft grassy background. Both the inflorescences and stiff leaves are perfectly suited for floristic purposes, especially as an interesting complementary detail in autumn bouquets or for drying in long-lasting arrangements.
