MUHLY GRASS - PINK - Quart Size - Free Shipping!

Pink muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) is not only a beautiful ornamental grass, but it's also low-maintenance. It doesn’t require much in the way of time and attention to make the most of this showy plant. These plants grow at a moderate rate and are best planted in the spring or in the fall—at least a month before the initial frost is expected.

In the spring and summer, the slender, long shoots of grass are green in color. As the fall approaches, the plant produces soft, fuzzy flowers in pink or pinkish-red hues which are often compared to the appearance of cotton candy. As winter grows near, the flowers lose their color but the dried plumes continue to offer visual appeal throughout the dormant season.

There are plenty of ornamental grasses to choose from, but few are as spectacular and low-maintenance as pink muhly grass. Preferring warm, dry climates, this grass is popular for landscaping residential areas, highway medians, meadows, and parks. The beauty of this swaying grass with its pink plumes make the plant an attractive addition to any garden, especially because the flower plumes appear at the end of the growing season and make for a spectacular final finish in the fall.

Be sure to provide adequate spacing of at least several feet in between plants for sufficient airflow and to avoid a fungal infection known as tar spot.

Aside from occasional pruning and dividing the plants every few years, pink muhly grass rarely requires much intervention. These plants thrive in full sunlight, prefer dry-to-medium moisture, well-drained soil, and rarely need fertilizer for healthy, abundant growth. These problem-free plants are not prone to pests or diseases.
