Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) is a warm-season ornamental perennial grass admired for its airy pink flower plumes, fine-textured green foliage, and graceful clump-forming habit. Native to parts of the eastern and southeastern United States, this ornamental grass adds softness, movement, and seasonal color to sunny landscapes, perennial borders, native plant gardens, and decorative outdoor containers.

During late summer and fall, Pink Muhly Grass produces delicate, cloudlike flower panicles that rise above its narrow green leaves. The airy blooms create a soft pink to rosy-purple appearance, especially when illuminated by sunlight. Its fine-textured foliage forms a naturally rounded mound that provides ornamental interest even outside the flowering season.

Pink Muhly Grass performs best in full sun and well-drained soil. Once established, it generally tolerates periods of dry weather and is suitable for water-conscious landscapes. This warm-season perennial typically becomes dormant during colder months, and its foliage may turn tan or brown before fresh growth appears in spring.

Each order includes 1 live Pink Muhly Grass supplied in a 1-quart nursery container (QT).
