Pink Muhly Grass
Muhlenbergia capillaris
Pink Muhly Grass creates one of the most magical sights in the fall garden — massive clouds of cotton-candy pink plumes that glow in the autumn light. Mass-planted along a driveway or border, it looks like a pink dream. A native grass that's tough, drought-tolerant, and absolutely show-stopping for 6-8 weeks every fall.
