30 Seeds Pink Muhly Grass Muhlenbergia capillaris Ornamental Grass

Pink Muhly Grass is a warm-season ornamental grass prized for its airy, cloud-like plumes that appear in late summer and autumn. The fine green foliage forms a tidy clump through the growing season before the pink inflorescences rise above and create a soft, hazy display. It brings texture, movement, and late-season color to borders, meadows, and container plantings, and the seed heads hold well into cooler weather. These seeds offer an economical way to establish this graceful grass in the landscape.
Pink Muhly Grass works well massed in perennial borders, naturalized meadows, and xeriscape beds, and it also performs in large containers where its weeping foliage can be appreciated. The plumes are long-lasting and are often used fresh or dried in arrangements. It grows best in full sun and tolerates heat and poor soils once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for many gardens. Space plants so air circulates freely, and cut back old foliage in late winter or early spring to make room for new growth.
