10 Seeds Pink Muhly Grass Muhlenbergia capillaris Ornamental Grass

Pink Muhly Grass is a warm-season ornamental grass grown for its airy late-season flower plumes that create a soft pink haze above fine blue-green foliage. It brings graceful texture, movement, and autumn color to borders, meadow plantings, and containers, and the dried plumes are valued for floral arrangements.

This clump-forming grass works well as a specimen, in mass plantings, along pathways, and in mixed perennial beds, where its narrow foliage and cloud-like plumes soften coarse textures and add four-season structure. It is a low-maintenance choice for sunny sites and tolerates heat and dry conditions once established, with plumes maturing in late summer through fall.
