Pink Muhly Grass

Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) brings soft movement and dramatic seasonal color to the landscape. Throughout spring and summer, its fine green foliage forms a tidy, rounded clump. In late summer and fall, delicate pink flower plumes rise above the foliage, creating a cloud-like display that catches sunlight and adds texture to planting beds.

This low-maintenance ornamental grass is especially effective in mass plantings, along borders, around patios, and in naturalized or modern landscape designs. It performs well in full sun, tolerates heat, and becomes drought-tolerant once established.

Sold in a 3-gallon container. Plant size, fullness, and plume coverage naturally vary by season and nursery availability.
