Prairie Winds® 'Rocket Power' Moor Grass (Molinia)

(Moor Grass) Molinia PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Rocket Power' is an elegant ornamental grass prized for its airy form and dramatic seasonal presence. Standing 40-44 inches tall and 28-32 inches wide, this clump-forming grass features fine, arching green foliage that stays low and tidy early in the season. In midsummer, tall, narrow flower stems shoot upward well above the foliage, creating a vertical, see-through effect that adds motion and lightness to the garden. As the season progresses, the stems often take on warm golden tones, extending interest into fall. It is hardy in zones 4–8, making it a dependable choice for a wide range of climates.

PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Rocket Power' performs best in full sun. It prefers average to moist, well-drained soil and tolerates periodic moisture better than many ornamental grasses. While it is not grown primarily for pollinator support, the flowers and seed heads provide subtle interest for wildlife. Molinia ornamental grass is deer and rabbit resistant, contributing to its low-maintenance appeal.

In garden design, PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Rocket Power' is ideal for perennial borders, meadow-style plantings, and mixed beds. Its tall, airy flower stems create movement and depth, pairing beautifully with flowering perennials and adding a graceful, architectural element to both formal and naturalistic landscapes. PRAIRIE WINDS® 'Rocket Power' is a Proven Winners® Perennial.
