Autumn Moor Grass (Sesleria autumnalis) is the ultimate "weaver" grass, beloved by landscape architects for its ability to knit a garden together. This cool-season perennial grass forms dense, mounding tufts of narrow, bright lime-green-to-chartreuse blades. While it looks stunning all year, it truly earns its name in late summer and autumn when elegant, silvery-white flower spikes rise on slender stems, catching the low autumn light beautifully.

As a durable member of the Sesleria genus, Autumn Moor Grass is one of the few ornamental grasses that is truly adaptable to both sun and shade. It is exceptionally long-lived, pest-resistant, and can handle dry soils and root competition under trees with ease. Its bright, light-colored foliage makes it a perfect partner for darker-leaved perennials or purple-flowered Salvias. Why you’ll love it: Brilliant chartreuse color, stunning translucent autumn flower spikes, and a rugged, reliable habit that thrives where other grasses fail.

Product Details: This Autumn Moor Grass is delivered as an established 4-inch live plant in a nursery pot. It reaches a foliage height of 12 inches and is a slow-spreading, non-invasive choice.
