A golden glow lights up the autumnal sceneWhen the foliage ages to a deep orange-yellow, this deciduous, moorland grass provides a striking, sunset glow in your autumnal garden.The narrow green leaves on this early decorative grass first emerge in March. During summer, panicles of purple flowers float on tall spikes over the arching foliage.The open growth on this variety creates a dramatic show in your container, bed or border when backlit by the sun. This wildlife-resistant perennial will also naturalise in your garden and tolerate dry conditions. Both the blooms and the foliage are an excellent source of cuttings for your vases.A location with full or part sunshine and moist, well-drained soil which is acidic to neutral is ideal for your Purple Moor Grass.In 2-5 years, this fully hardy perennial reaches a height and spread of 1.5m by 90cm.
