More Information

Description Clouds of color overwhelm the compact, blue-green foliage of Pink Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) as flowers emerge in summer! Masses of airy, pink-hued flowers float above the foliage, lasting over 12 weeks. Blooms transition to tan plumes that add soft texture throughout the winter. This grass may look delicate, but it's incredibly durable.  As a native grass, it's highly adaptable and resistant to deer, pests, and diseases. It even thrives in poor soils and urban conditions. Plant it in groups or masses to give your garden a dreamy feel! Details How To Grow

They look great

Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia) arrived in excellent shape. They have thrived in what is a really harsh environment (coastal sandy salty location), and I couldn't be happier with them.

Hello! Thank you for leaving feedback. When transplanting young plants from a nursery pot to a garden, the plant allocates more energy to root development instead of shoot development (above ground). It's important for them to develop a robust root system so they can actually absorb the nutrients and water in the soil around them. Then after their root system is more developed they'll invest in their shoots and flower development. They generally spend their first year growing roots in their new home, the second year they have more energy to put into growth, and the third year, they are growing and flowering vigorously. This applies to plants in the garden center as well as plants you purchase online.

Please email pictures of the plant to claims@greatgardenplants.com, making sure to put your order number and name in the subject line so that we may provide the best assistance possible. Rest assured, we do have a 60-day guarantee on all of our plants. If you received your plants within that timeframe, we will be happy to apply your warranty once we receive the pictures. Happy Gardening!
