Calamagrostis Aequata

Purple moor grass, scientifically known as Calamagrostis aequata, is a hardy perennial grass native to the acidic bogs and heaths of northern Europe. It thrives in wet, nutrient-poor soils and is often found in areas with high moisture levels. The plant is characterized by its striking purple-tinted foliage and delicate, feathery seed heads that appear in late summer. Its ability to colonize disturbed or degraded habitats makes it an important component of ecological restoration projects. Despite its humble appearance, Purple moor grass plays a vital role in stabilizing soil and supporting local biodiversity.
