'Pink Cloud' Muhly Grass sends billows of airy pink flower panicles dancing in the wind for a stunning autumn display. The graceful, arching foliage is equally magnificent, providing movement and structure to mixed borders. This native plant is not just beautiful its easy to grow, drought resistant, and deer resistant, too. Tuck cuttings of 'Pink Cloud' Muhly Grass into flower arrangements for lavish texture. Simply breathtaking when planted in flowing drifts and sparkling in the afternoon sun. (Muhlenbergia capillaris)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-36" tall x 24-36" wide.
Even without the drifting blooms, 'Pink Cloud' Muhly Grass commands attention in the garden. Growing in a
dense clump, the long, narrow green foliage flows with fountain-like effect
through the garden. Leaf blade color turns buff to copper in autumn as floral
plumes rise high above the foliage, creating the namesake cloud-like effect. Don’t
let all that glimmers fool you: few plants are as rugged as 'Pink
Cloud' Muhly Grass. Give them
your toughest growing conditions, from sea spray to poor soils. Muhlenbergia
thrives on hot, dry sites and is drought tolerant once established. Plants are
deer resistant, making Muhlenbergia an ideal addition to meadow plantings and other
naturalized areas, commonly used to stabilize slopesor as a low hedge. A
spectacular selection of a tough North American native grass.
