Muhly Grass Pink

Pink muhly grass is not only a beautiful ornamental grass, but it’s also low-maintenance. It doesn’t take 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 put in the ground 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 approaches, the flowers lose their color but the dried-out plumes continue to offer visual appeal throughout the dormant season.
