Purple moorgrass (Molinia caerulea)
Purple moorgrass, also known as Flying bent grass, Purple molinia, Tall purple moor grass, Indian grass
Tufted hairgrass (Deschampsia cespitosa) is a perennial bunchgrass indigenous to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa. It flourishes in moist, acidic soils and can be found at various elevations. Although it prefers these specific conditions, tufted hairgrass is resilient and can adapt to less optimal environments. Its distinctive tufted appearance makes it easily recognizable.
