Tall Moor Grass, also known as Sesleria autumnalis, is a stunning ornamental grass that adds texture and movement to any garden setting. With its graceful, upright form and silvery-green foliage, this versatile grass creates visual interest throughout all seasons. The plant produces elegant flower spikes in late summer that persist into winter, providing both aesthetic appeal and habitat for local wildlife.
Tall Moor Grass is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. In spring, cut back old foliage to about 3 inches above ground level to encourage fresh growth. This grass rarely requires division and maintains its compact form without spreading aggressively. Regular watering during the first growing season helps establish a deep root system, though mature plants are quite drought-resistant.
For optimal growth, apply a light layer of compost in early spring. While fertilization isnt necessary, a slow-release balanced fertilizer can be applied if desired. Remove any dead foliage as needed and monitor for signs of rust, though this grass is generally disease-resistant.
Plant Tall Moor Grass in spring or early fall for best results. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Place the plant at the same level it was growing in the container, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly. Space plants 12-18 inches apart for mass plantings.
Add a 2-inch layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown to prevent rot. Water deeply after planting and maintain consistent moisture for the first few weeks until established. In colder regions, provide extra winter protection with a layer of straw or leaves.
