A modern introduction from with open, arching flower panicles on tall stems well over big clumps of foliage from midsummer. Good orange-yellow autumn leaf and stem colour. 2.1m.

A selected form of the taller subspecies of Purple Moor Grass this is one of those with arching flower stems providing a big, dramatic ornamental grass that is at it's best from October into winter when the green turns to gold.  Because of the arching habit it is best to position Molinia 'Breeze' away from paths and surrounded with low growing plants that will be blower the arching stems!
