Muhlenbergia Capillaris | Pink Muhly Grass
Pink Muhly Grass is a striking, ornamental perennial grass prized for its airy, cloud-like plumes of pinkish-purple flowers that appear in late summer to fall. Native to North America, this clump-forming grass grows to a mature height of 2 to 4 feet, with an equally wide spread. Its fine-textured, needle-like foliage remains an attractive green throughout the growing season, turning a soft tan in winter, adding year-round interest.
This low-maintenance, drought-tolerant plant thrives in full sun and well-drained soils, adapting well to sandy, loamy, or rocky terrains. It is a versatile choice for borders, mass plantings, meadows, or as a stunning accent in xeriscapes or urban gardens. Its vibrant plumes create a striking visual effect, particularly when backlit by the sun, and its texture complements a variety of companion plants.
Pink Muhly Grass is deer-resistant, attracts pollinators, and requires minimal care, making it an excellent choice for gardeners seeking a show-stopping yet easy-to-grow ornamental grass.
