Molinia caerulea – Variegata
A delicate yet striking cool-season bunchgrass, Molinia caerulea 'Variegata' forms a tight, compact mound of slender leaves boldly striped in creamy-yellow and green. In mid to late summer, fine purple-tinged panicles rise gracefully above the foliage, turning golden-tan through autumn. As fall progresses, the foliage brightens to burnished gold before the plant dies back, offering a soft seasonal glow—though flower stalks typically collapse and don’t persist into winter.
