Autumn Moor Grass

Autumn Moor Grass

Sesleria autumnalis

Dependable, clumping yellow-green foliage makes this one of the best groundcover grasses for meadows throughout California. Always tidy, it makes a handsome lawn replacement. Noticeable flowers emerge silvery white and dry to an attractive deep tan, adding an understated sparkle to the foliage. Few grasses have such great year-round appeal. Poorly suited to desert gardens, but thrives in all other California gardens.
