Molinia caerulea 'Moorehexe' is a perennial grass. Plants live long but grow slow. Leaves are light green, narrow, in neat dense clumps 1-2 ft. tall and wide. In summer, yellowish to purplish flowers in narrow, spikelike clusters rise 2-3 ft. above clumps.

Eastern Redbud

Common name:Eastern Redbud

This small, deciduous tree with a rounded head is covered with small flowers of a rose pink color in the spring before the appearance of heart-shaped leaves. It can grow to 25' tall with an equal spread. It has a low branching habit with a rounded form. Leaves turn yellow green in the fall. Not as tolerant of drought of high pH as some other varieties of Redbud. Needs protection from the afternoon sun in the low desert.

Soils and Compost:

Maintain a two to four inch layer of mulch on the soil surface to reduce weeds, infiltrate rain water, and reduce compaction.

Water-Saving Tip:

Watering every day results in shallow roots.

Instead, water deeply every few days using the Cycle and Soak method (two or more short run times, each separated by about an hour).

Integrated Pest Management:

Develop healthy soil for plants that are vigorous and naturally pest-resistant.
