Sesleria 'Brushstrokes'
Brushstrokes Moor Grass
Description
This Sesteria hybrid first caught our eye because of its distinctive two-toned leaves. It emerged from our large Sesleria collection as an unplanned cross-pollination of unknown parents. Both silver and blue at once, like Sesleria caurulea but more subtle. The flowers stand atop tall slender stems, easily 2 feet above the foliage! In all my world travels, I've never seen such a tall flowering Sesleria.
