Calamagrostis Purpurea Subsp. Gracilis

Purple moor grass, scientifically known as Calamagrostis purpurea subsp. gracilis, is a striking member of the grass family that thrives in wet, acidic environments. This plant is often found in heathlands and peat bogs across northern Europe and parts of Asia. Its slender stems and vibrant purple plumes make it a standout feature in its natural habitat. It plays an important role in stabilizing soil and supporting local wildlife. Despite its delicate appearance, it is remarkably resilient and adaptable to harsh conditions.
