Muhlenbergia capillaris at Digging Dog
Pink Muhly
Muhly
Named in honor of G. H. E. Muhlenberg, a botanist who specialized in grasses, this large, varied genus includes some of the most visually stunning and enduring ornamental grasses for today’s landscape.
Primarily native to arid range areas of the southern U.S. and Mexico, many Muhlenbergias boast not only arresting inflorescences and foliage, but an exceptional tolerance to heat, sun and drought, providing the soil is well drained, as well as abiding short amounts of dappled shade each day. Muhlenbergia capillaris
Holding their attraction for months, ethereal masses of airy flower panicles are imbued in vivid pinkish red tones, which age to a light buff. This soft-looking mist hovers atop a fine textured, semievergreen clump of glossy dark green foliage. With an unmatched vivacity, particularly when planted in
drifts, the Pink Muhly will easily bridge the gap from a garden space into the native habitat.
Blooms September–early December. Size: 3' high x 3' wide; hardy to zone 6. Muhlenbergia capillaris (g-0057) Each $7.50
