PINK MUHLY GRASS 5gal

Imagine a living, breathing pink cloud gracing your Prescott yard – that's the magic of Muhlenbergia capillaris, commonly known as Pink Muhly Grass! This truly stunning ornamental grass is a must-have for its ethereal beauty, especially in late summer and fall when its airy, purplish-pink flower plumes emerge in a breathtaking haze, shimmering beautifully in the sunlight. It creates a soft, whimsical texture that contrasts wonderfully with bolder desert plants or adds graceful movement to any garden space.

Pink Muhly Grass is a fantastic fit for our Arizona climate. It forms neat, clumping mounds of fine, green foliage, typically growing 2-3 feet tall and wide, with the flower plumes reaching up to 4 feet in height. It's a sun-lover through and through, performing best and producing the most vibrant blooms in full sun – a minimum of six hours daily is ideal. In Prescott's USDA Zone 7, it's reliably cold-hardy, tolerating temperatures well below freezing, and remarkably drought-tolerant once established. Deer tend to leave this beautiful grass alone, making it an excellent, low-maintenance choice for gardeners facing Browse challenges.

When planting your Pink Muhly Grass, ensure it has well-drained soil; it absolutely thrives in leaner, rocky, or sandy conditions common in our area. To give it the best start, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden's native soil. This will improve soil structure and drainage while adding beneficial organic matter. For an extra boost to encourage robust growth and those spectacular plumes, incorporate our 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food into the planting hole. Water thoroughly after planting and continue to water regularly during its first growing season to help it establish a strong root system. Once mature, it's incredibly water-wise, often surviving on rainfall alone, though occasional deep watering during extended dry periods will enhance its appearance.
