    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    Likened to poetry in motion when a lazy wind stirs, stiff slender stems rise well above widely arching compact blades, bowing under the weight of sheer, large hazy purple blooms. Ideal for small-scale gardens, the tailored narrow green leaves and stalks are shorter than our other Molinia selections, and come fall their glowing golden yellow hues invigorate the landscape. This first-rate dwarf cultivar projects a broad light-footed stance that partners well with the magenta flowers of willowy Dianthus carthusianorum.
