Due to its drought tolerance and low maintenance needs once established, Muhlenbergia capillaris is widely employed on highway medians, golf courses, and in residential landscapes. It thrives particularly well on steep banks. Pink Muhly Grass should be pruned back in early spring, ensuring cuts are made well above the crown (3-4 inches) to preserve its growth points. When planting in large groups, it’s important to allow adequate spacing for proper air circulation to minimize the risk of tar spot (Phyllachora). If planting in the fall, aim to do so at least a month before the first frost to enhance winter survival.
