What is the plant

Purple moor grass, Molinia caerulea, is a terrific British native ornamental grass, forming large clumps of erect leaves, from which tall spikes of purple flowers emerge in summer. Because it has a gentle, see-through look it’s ideal for growing at the front of a border, filtering views to the plants behind. In autumn the foliage becomes electric yellow.
