Molinia caerulea 'Edith Dudszus' AGM
Graceful grass with arching flower stems and golden autumn color, perfect for naturalistic gardens on moist, well-drained soils.
Molinia caerulea 'Edith Dutszus' is an elegant cultivar of purple moor grass, known for its graceful arching habit and airy flower panicles. Forming a neat clump of narrow, mid-green foliage, it sends up delicate, upright flowering stems from July through October. These spikelets shift in color from purplish-brown to straw-yellow, adding a light and dynamic texture to planting schemes. In autumn, the foliage turns bright golden-yellow, providing continued ornamental value.
Reaching 80 to 100 cm in height when flowering and spreading about 50 cm, this ornamental grass thrives in full sun to partial shade. It prefers moist, humus-rich but well-drained soils. Low maintenance, it requires little pruning—simply cut back old growth in early spring to make way for new shoots.
Perfect for naturalistic planting schemes, prairie-style gardens, or as a structural component in perennial borders, this Molinia also serves as shelter for insects and small wildlife, enhancing garden biodiversity. Its see-through form makes it ideal for combining with late-flowering perennials and other ornamental grasses.
