Grass, Moor, Skyracer

Easily grown in average, medium to wet, well-drained soil in full sun.
Prefers acidic soils with consistent moisture.
Tolerates light shade, particularly in the South, but is generally less vigorous with decreased flowering in too much shade.
Decreased flowering may also occur in hot summer climates.
Best performance of this grass generally occurs in cool summer climates.
Unlike many of the ornamental grasses, the foliage and flower stalks of purple moor grass typically break down and fall over in late fall, providing little winter interest.
Cut any surviving foliage back to the ground in early spring (late February-March) just before the new leaf blades appear.
This is a slow-growing grass, hence small starter divisions should be avoided unless one has the patience to wait several years for the plant to mature.
