"Brown and lifeless"
"I bought 9 of these in the spring of 2023. They were small but have done extremely well—better than some more mature ones I bought elsewhere and planted at the same time. They bloomed a little in fall of 2024, and have bloomed magnificently this fall of 2025, starting late Sept. The plants are now 24" tall. I am buying many more next spring—they are outstanding as a matrix plant for my whole garden."
"I bought 10 Ruby Muhly grass and planted in September, 2024. They are thriving and the pink plumes are so pretty! One pot was seeded with a different type of grass-but that's ok! It's fun."
"I had planned to use this in my large garden and let it grow to full size, but the rabbits have eaten it, so I am not sure what to do. I should have put a cage around it, which is what I will now do. Perhaps once it grows larger they will be less interested in it or there will be enough to share."
"This grass is beautiful throughout its growing cycle. The way the light shines on the grass makes a wonderful backdrop for photography from July to September, when the grass heads suddenly come out pink. This grass is charming and it stays where you put it."
"hasn't grown but is stable. it's only been 2 wks since planting. fingers crossed."
"I planted several High Country Gardner products in a rock area adjacent to my driveway. It is typically hot in the summer, cold in the winter and not a lot of water. They are thriving in a bit of a hostile environment. So far… so good!"
"I used them in several areas in the garden in front of taller perennial flowers."
"The plants have stayed alive but growth is slow. Some have grown much better than others, depending on location, with potted ones doing the best. Am looking forward to seeing the full pink display."
"2 out of the 9 I ordered came heavily contaminated with weeds. A third had some weed growth, but I was able to pick them out. The rest appeared healthy and ready to get into the ground. Just sort of disappointed in the weed-y ones."
Color up your fall garden with this showy, cold hardy native perennial grass. Blooming in early fall, Muhlenbergia reverchonii Undaunted® (Ruby Muhly Grass) 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 grown 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). (Seed propagated)
This plant was introduced by Lauren Springer and Scott Ogden, thanks to years of garden development, propagations, and hardiness trials. Plants in the UNDAUNTED® series are patented by Lauren Springer. Undaunted® (Ruby Muhly Grass) was introduced to the horticultural trade by High Country Gardens, and it joined the Plant Select® assortment in 2014.
