Muhlenbergia rigens, commonly known as Deer Grass has many uses in the landscape. Accents throughout a desert landscape, soften rock features, borders, and transition areas are suitable situations for this tough grass. Deer grass typically grows to about 3 to 4 feet tall and can spread 2 to 3 feet wide, forming dense clumps. In late summer to early fall, it produces feathery, tan-colored flower plumes above the foliage. Provide consistent drip irrigation to keep green in summer and prevent infestation. Prune down in late winter for a fresh appearance with new growth in spring.
