Pink Muhly is a striking ornamental grass known for its airy, cloud-like plumes of pink flowers that appear in late summer to fall. Native to the southeastern United States, this warm-season grass forms graceful clumps of fine-textured green foliage that reach about 2 to 3 feet tall and wide. When in bloom, the soft, feathery pink flower heads rise above the foliage, creating a shimmering haze of color that moves beautifully in the breeze. Pink Muhly adds dramatic, yet delicate texture to landscapes, making it a favorite for borders, mass plantings, and naturalistic designs.

In addition to its visual appeal, Pink Muhly is a tough, low-maintenance plant that thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It's drought-tolerant once established and performs well in both garden beds and containers. This native grass is also deer-resistant and generally free from pests and diseases. It requires minimal upkeep—just an annual cutback in late winter or early spring to encourage fresh growth. Whether used for erosion control, in meadowscapes, or as a showy accent, Pink Muhly provides year-round structure with an unforgettable fall display.

"My landscaper planted these in my front yard and I loved them so much, I asked him to get a few more. "
