Muhlenbergia capillaris is another US native (Massachusetts to Texas), ornamental, deer-resistant grass that will knock your horticultural socks off! Hairy awn muhly makes a nondescript clump of narrow green foliage (30" x 30") until mid- to late August, when the clumps are topped with cloud-like heads of reddish purple that age to pink...truly STUNNING!

This plant exceeded my expectations. The fan shape and colorful foliage make this grass unique and a true show stopper. I think it is my favorite of all the plants in our yard, andbelieve me, we have a LOT of plants! I bought two and planted one on each side of the center of our garden; it really sets it off nicely.

Q: The muhli grass will be in full sun against a brick wall and next to the concrete driveway. How far apart should I plant them. They will be in a 20-feet line.

P Plant Delights Nursery8 month ago

A: The muhlenbergia will get about 30" wide, so depending on how dense you want the line to be they could be planted 2-3' apart.

Q: How "seedy" is Muhly in terms of invasiveness ?

P Plant Delights Nursery3 years ago

A: Hi, Muhly grass is not a particularly seedy or invasive growing grass. It is a native genus to the South Eastern US, including here in NC. We recommend it highly as it tends to stay put to where its planted and only grows to a nice large three foot tall clump. Thank you and happy...view more
