Description

Autumn Moor Grass is a tough, fine-textured evergreen grass that provides multi-season interest with minimal care. It forms dense, tidy tufts of narrow, bright green leaves. Its most notable feature is the profusion of slender, silvery-white flower spikes that appear in late summer or early fall, rising elegantly above the foliage and persisting for weeks. Compact, drought-tolerant, and adaptable, it is an excellent choice for edging, mass planting as a no-mow lawn alternative, or adding subtle texture to rock gardens.

  • Late Season Silvery-White Flower Spikes: Produces an abundant display of airy, silvery flower plumes in late summer/fall when many other grasses have finished.

  • Neat, Evergreen Clumping Habit: Forms a very dense, low mound of fine foliage that remains attractive and green throughout the year in mild climates.

  • Drought Tolerant & Adaptable: Thrives in full sun to part shade and is very drought-tolerant once established. Tolerates poor soil.

  • Low-Maintenance Groundcover: Requires no mowing and is excellent for suppressing weeds. Can handle light foot traffic.

  • Versatile for Edging & Massing: Perfect for defining pathways, planting in drifts, or using in low-water, modern landscape designs.

Faqs

Q: How do you maintain it?
A: Maintenance is minimal. Simply cut back the entire clump to a few inches in late winter before new spring growth begins to remove old foliage and flower stalks. This keeps it looking fresh.

Q: Will it spread?
A: It is a clump-forming grass that increases slowly in girth. It is not invasive and will not run. It can be divided every few years in spring if you wish to propagate it.
