What: ‘Moorflamme’ purple moor grass has a lot going for it. Versatile, it grows in sun or part shade. It is clump forming, medium sized, easy to care for, long lived, has a long season of interest and remains upright, even in Pacific Northwest rains.
Where: If possible, plant it where it is backlit by the setting sun. ‘Mooreflamme’ looks good with a wide variety of other plants or with a “”weaver, “” such geranium ‘Salome’ or ‘Anne Folkard’, scrambling through its foliage.
Size: Grows to 1½ feet tall by wide in 10 years.
Care: Water regularly in summer. Cut the grass to the ground in January or February.
