Airella Multiculmis

Purple moor grass, scientifically known as Airella multiculmis, is a hardy perennial plant that thrives in the acidic, nutrient-poor soils of heathlands and moorlands. It is characterized by its distinctive purple coloration and its ability to form dense, low-growing clumps. This plant plays a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance of its habitat by providing shelter and food for various insects and birds. Despite its delicate appearance, it is remarkably resilient, surviving in harsh conditions with minimal water and nutrients. Its presence is often an indicator of undisturbed, natural environments.
