Blue moor grass is a tough, low-maintenance ornamental grass that thrives in full sun to partial shade with average moisture. It forms attractive blue-green tufts and tolerates a wide range of soil types, including chalky or rocky soils. Minimal pruning is needed — simply remove old foliage in early spring to encourage fresh growth.
