Molinia caerulea 'Windspiel' is a delicate ornamental grass wth green foliage, maturing to a gentle honey brown by autumn. Inflorescences of tiny bead-like flowers and seed cases appear on vertical, upright stems in summer. It's a fantastic choice for making a partially transparent screen, through which you can view other plants or the sky.

Grow Molinia caerulea 'Windspiel' in moist but well-drained soil in full sun. Remove dead foliage in spring.
