  • Molinia caerulea subsp. arundinacea ‘Transparent’ Molinia caerulea subsp. arundinacea ‘Transparent’

    Molinia caerulea subsp. arundinacea ‘Transparent’

    £6.50

    Potsize - 1L

    Purple Moor Grass is a British native, to be found on damp peaty sites where it grows rough, tough tussocks that are a nightmare to walk through. However, as a garden plant it has many merits. In its taller subspecies, subsp. arundinacea, it produces tall airy plumes of purple tinted flowers that are light and see through. The plants are tough and in Autumn they turn rich buttery tones that last well into the Autumn. Transparent lives up to its billing with particularly airy flowers in spikes up to 5ft high. It is particularly persistent into the Winter. Molinia like plenty of moisture and will tolerate a wide range of soil types from peaty to a reasonable amount of lime.

Dorset Perennials – plants direct from the heart of Dorset.

At Dorset Perennials you will find a husband and wife team, Dawn and Martin, who have been plantsmen and nurserymen for nearly 25 years. Our nursery, situated in the North of Dorset close to the Somerset border, is full of the plants we love. There’s no overall theme, just an eclectic mix of perennials that, for one reason or another, we consider well worth growing. We have plants for shade, plants for sun, plants for wildlife and a few more just because. In short all the perennials you would ever need to make a garden full of colour throughout the year and full of the plants you need to make it hum with wildlife. We’ve tried to make this website full of inspirational colour and easy to use. The shop page has a nifty plant selector sidebar which can be used to filter our plants by size, colour season and so forth to help you quickly pin down the right plant for a particular spot. We’ve added picture pages showing plant associations to inspire you, or if you need a little advice just give us a call.
