Pink Muhly Grass (1 Gallon)

🌸 Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris)
Like cotton candy at sunset—soft, airy, and full of sweet surprise.

There are plants that grow... and then there are plants that gather a crowd. Pink Muhly Grass is the latter—a graceful, easygoing native grass that explodes in a cloud of soft pink blooms each fall, like a blush-colored breeze rolling through your yard. It’s the kind of beauty that makes folks slow down on their walk, point it out to the kids, and smile without even meaning to.

Whether lining a garden path, anchoring a flower bed, or fluttering in the wind beside your mailbox, this plant brings a dreamy charm that fits just right with porches, pumpkins, and that golden afternoon light.

🌾 A Native Treasure with Timeless Appeal
Pink Muhly is native to the American Southeast, which means it’s well suited for the hot summers, sandy soils, and sweet Southern seasons we hold dear. It's tough and undemanding, but when fall rolls around, it turns into pure poetry—a sea of pink mist that sways like a lullaby.

💌 What It Represents
Pink Muhly Grass speaks of soft strength, joy, and the beauty of being a little unexpected. It reminds us that sometimes, the quiet ones are the most unforgettable—and that a touch of whimsy makes life sweeter.

🌞 Where It Grows Best

• Zones: 6–10

• Sunlight: Full sun for the best bloom and color. It’ll tolerate a little shade, but it really shines in the light.

• Soil: Well-drained soil—sandy, loamy, or even rocky. It doesn’t like wet feet.

• Size: Grows 3–4 feet tall and wide. Airy and upright, perfect for group plantings or graceful borders.

🌱 Caring for Your Pink Muhly:

• Watering: Drought-tolerant once established—water when dry during the first growing season.

• Pruning: In late winter, cut back to a few inches tall before new growth appears.

• Fertilizer: Not fussy—just a touch of compost in spring will keep it happy.

• Bonus: Deer resistant, low-maintenance, and pollinator-friendly—what more could you ask for?

🌸 Garden Companions to Let It Shine:
Pink Muhly plays beautifully with other sunny, late-season showstoppers:

• Black-eyed Susan (Rudbeckia) – Warm gold blooms pop against the pink haze.

• Russian Sage or Lavender – Airy, fragrant, and a beautiful color contrast.

• Coneflower (Echinacea) – Their sturdy blooms pair perfectly with the soft texture.

• Little Bluestem or Switchgrass – A native grass combo that waves beautifully together.

• Salvia or Asters – Extend the color season with cool tones and buzzing pollinators.
