Autumn Moor Grass

About this plant

Autumn Moor Grass (Sesleria autumnalis) is a sophisticated and low-maintenance ornamental grass, prized for its distinctive upright yet graceful habit. Its narrow, blue-green leaves form neat clumps that remain attractive throughout the seasons, offering a refined contrast to broad-leaved perennials and shrubs. As summer wanes, delicate, silvery-white flower spikes emerge above the foliage, catching the light and adding a soft, feathery texture to your garden right through autumn and into winter. Ideal for mass plantings, borders, or as an accent in rock gardens, this versatile grass is celebrated for its ability to thrive in a variety of conditions, from full sun to partial shade. Its subtle beauty harmonizes with both naturalistic and formal garden designs, providing continuous visual interest without becoming overpowering. A true garden workhorse, Autumn Moor Grass requires minimal attention once established. It's an excellent choice for those seeking to introduce an element of understated elegance and year-round appeal with a plant that stands up to challenging conditions, including drought and deer.

Care & maintenance

Autumn Moor Grass is remarkably low-maintenance. Cut back foliage to about 2-3 inches in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy appearance. No significant pest or disease issues.
