Brushstrokes Moor Grass builds a dense tuft of narrow blue-green blades with silvery undersides, so the whole clump flickers two colors every time the wind moves through it. Sesleria 'Brushstrokes' ships as a live 4-inch plant.

Creamy white flower spikes rise on slender stems in spring and summer, catching the light well above the leaves. Planted in drifts this evergreen grass makes a low meadow layer, the kind of quiet repeating green that ties a border together, settles a rock garden or carpets the ground under taller perennials. Space it about 15 inches on center.

Design note: grasses read best in numbers. Three plants look like an accident, nine look like a plan, and after that the wind does the rest of the work for you.
