Description:

24-36” tall x 18-24” wide. Color up your fall garden with this showy, cold hardy native perennial grass. Blooming in early fall, Autumn Embers Muhly is a garden standout with its very showy, finely textured bright reddish-pink seed heads. In winter the grass and seed spikes turn a lovely tawny brown. A medium sized grass with thin, sometimes curling, mid-green foliage, this prized Muhly should be planted in drifts of 3 or more plants to maximize its impact in the landscape. Highly resistant to browsing deer, it is easily grown in a wide range of soils including heavy clay. This little known grass species is native only to north TX and southwestern OK, but can be successfully grow throughout much of the country. It tolerates a wide range of growing conditions including heat, humidity and cold winter temperatures. It’s much more cold hardy and blooms earlier than its popular Zone 6 relative Gulf Coast Muhly, (Muhlenbergia capillaris). Grown in premium 5” deep pots. Zones 5-9.

Special Notes:

Grows well in a wide range of soil types including clay.
