The airy and cloud-like pinkish purple flowers begin appearing in July in warmer climates and August in cooler climates, extending the muhly flowering season for up to two months. As with its cousins, when not in flower the finely textured mounds of thin arching leaves are highly attractive and the plant is very drought tolerant and easy to grow and maintain.

Truly stunning in bloom in mass plantings on embankments, hillsides and slopes, where its roots act as a soil stabilizer for erosion control. Makes a nice centerpiece in combination container gardens and is a fine addition to seaside gardens, rock gardens, ornamental grass gardens and the Xeriscape (low water need).

It is highly resistant to heat, humidity, sun, salt, and drought. It doesn't like wet feet so make sure to plant it in very well-drained soil. Add sand and or small gravel to the planting mix if necessary to ensure good drainage. It appreciates pampering with adequate food and water during the first growing season but after that takes off on its own and is exceptionally drought-tolerant. Full sun is preferred for best flowering however the plant will tolerate and still flower with some light shade. We suggest at least 6 hours of direct sunlight for best flowering. It is also quite salt tolerant, making it an excellent choice for gardens near the sea. If necessary, cut back foliage to ground in late winter before new growth begins to emerge in spring. \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHelpful Articles\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eClick on the link below to find helpful advice from our experts on how to plant, fertilize, prune and water Muhly Grass.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHow To Plant \u0026amp; Care For Muhly Grass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlant Long \u0026amp; Prosper!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet The Wilson Brothers \u0026amp; Staff\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eQuestions?\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan\u003eContact Us!\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e                                                                    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48146528239770,"sku":"D2LSC 643667324","price":25.88,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0751\/3263\/3242\/files\/muhlenbergia-capillaris-fast-forward-pink-muhly-grass-101.jpg?v=1779955040","url":"https:\/\/plant.hcgardenus.com\/products\/fast-forward-pink-muhly-grass-cotton-candy-grass-1-gallon-pot","provider":"Royal Horticultural Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
