WILDLIFE & INSECTS

Birds

  • Provides seed forage for songbirds such as goldfinches and cover for overwintering insects, which attract insectivorous birds.

Spacing & Landscape Use

Spacing Recommendations

  • Space 18 - 24 in apart to allow the graceful flower stalks to arch without obstruction and promote air circulation.

Landscape Placement

  • Well suited to mixed borders, naturalized meadows, and mass plantings where its fine texture and golden fall color add contrast and movement.

Companion Plants

  • Allium senescens (Ornamental Onion) - Offers mounding foliage and round purple blooms that bloom alongside Molinia flower spikes.
  • Amsonia hubrichtii (Threadleaf Bluestar) - Provides blue spring flowers and glowing gold fall color to echo Molinia’s autumn tones.
  • Achillea millefolium (Yarrow) - Offers drought resistance and long blooming flower heads in complementary shades.
  • Salvia nemorosa 'Caradonna' - Adds upright purple flower spikes that bloom earlier and transition smoothly into Molinia’s display.
  • Coreopsis verticillata 'Zagreb' - Adds bright, fine textured blooms that match the airy quality of Molinia’s form.
