Sesleria heufleriana (Blue-green Moor Grass) - This native to southeastern Europe is very similar to Blue Moor grass (S. caerulea) but larger, taller, and a little less blue. The foliage forms neat tufted mounds to 15 inches with the upper surfaces of the leaves emerging as mostly green in spring, becoming glaucous-blue by early summer through autumn and winter. The early spring flowers are black with cream-yellow pollen sacs, held above the foliage on slender stalks. It is semi-evergreen even in colder climates. Hardy to Zone 4. 

This information about Sesleria heufleriana displayed is based on research conducted in our horticultural library and from reliable online resources. We also will relate observations made about it as it grows in our nursery gardens and other gardens we have visited, as well how the crops have performed in containers in our nursery field. We will also incorporate comments that we receive from others and we welcome hearing from anyone with additional information, particularly if they can share any cultural information that would aid others in growing it.
