Muhlenbergia capillaris is among the most captivating species in the world of grasses. Pink Muhly Grass is highly desirable for several reasons: its striking pink plumes, ability to withstand drought, and easygoing maintenance. It forms a mound with upright, blue-green foliage throughout the growing season, but in September, it transforms with stunning pink seed heads that resemble a cotton-candy crown. When planted in groups, the collective impact is truly breathtaking.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
