Last Updated: 30/09/2021 Molinia makes a wonderful ornamental grass, and there are two basic types of Molinia. Molinia caerulea which grows to about a metre or so tall, and the Molinia caerulea aurundinacea which can grow considerably higher – as you can see in this video.
If you’re planning on planting Molinia, good for you – just make sure you plant the right one for your garden!
