Molinia is slow to mature and could take 3-5 years to reach full size. Grows best in a moist, well-drained, acidic soil, in full sun to partial shade. You can trim back the dead foliage in the fall for a tidier appearance, or leave it until spring to improve winter interest and provide root protection.
'Strahlenquelle' means "source of rays", which may be alluding to the golden fall colours of molinia that radiate when backlit with the setting sun.
