blue moor grass

The best time to water Blue Moor Grass is in the spring or fall and it should be watered deeply and infrequently. During the summer, water it when the soil is dry to a depth of 8 inches and avoid any frequent shallow watering. When watering, make sure the soil is consistently moist, but not saturated. In the winter, there is no need to water Blue Moor Grass unless the weather is abnormally dry. A good rule of thumb for all seasons is to water when the soil in the top inch is dry.

Blue moor grass (Sesleria caerulea) is best grown in full sun, or at least 4 or more hours of direct sunlight daily. This type of grass requires a moderate amount of sunlight to flourish, and too much sunlight can actually harm the plant. When planting, it is important to consider the type of sunlight that will be received. In areas with warm climates, the grass will require protection from the intense afternoon sun and should be planted in partial shade. In colder climates, ensure that the plant is located in an area that receives at least 4 hours of direct sunlight daily and that shade is not too close to it which could reduce the amount of sunlight that it receives.

Pruning is important for many species of plants, including blue moor grass (Sesleria caerulea). To keep the plant looking neat and healthy, light pruning is recommended in early to mid spring, before the new leaves start to grow. This will allow you to remove any damaged or dead leaves, as well as any shoots or stems that have died back from cold weather. More extensive pruning should be done after the plant finishes blooming in late summer, making sure not to remove too many stems. Pruning ensures the grass maintains a healthy, contained form and encourages more vigorous growth.
