‘Bergfreund” is my favourite form of elegantly arching molinia or tall purple moor grass.
Right now, the purple tinged inflorescences are loaded with pollen which is of a relatively low nutritional value to bees.

Autumn colour is good, too, rich buttery leaves and stems.

How intriguing – I have not thought about what role bees might have around grasses

First time I’ve seen this in my garden. Tiny hover flies and many flies are attracted to grass ‘flowers’, but grasses are wind pollinated so don’t rely on insects in this way.

This looks dreamy. I love the mauve. I am going to remove several of clumps of pheasant grass shortly, because they are swamping so many other things. Maybe I could fit one of these in instead ….

‘Dreamy’ is a good way to describe this beautiful, graceful grass. One in a metre of clear ground would make a handsome specimen. I grow mine draping the edge of a terrace underplanted with yellow crocosmia.

The bees swinging from the pendulous stems made me smile. 🙂
