Description
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 slopes or as a low hedge. A spectacular selection of a tough North American native grass.

Reviews
"Nicely packed Live plants."
3 weeks later, things look promising
"I planted 5 individuals three weeks ago. One appears like it won't make it. In addition, I tried to order 4 more individuals but American Meadows was out of stock (sort of). They would not break up an in-stock 9 pack for me."
Not happy
"They died . All the other plants u sent are great"
Most did not survive
"Sadly most of these did not survive. I ordered 6 and looks like only 2 are coming out of dormancy."
Didn't come back second season
"Grew okay first season after planting, but didn't come back the second year."
Moody Muhly
"Over a period of two or three years, I added eight pink Muhly plants to my garden. Only four remain. The others all inexplicably died during the winter. I have no idea why as they were planted close to the house and had western sun exposure. Losing so many was very frustrating because they were finally achieving mature size and looking impressive."
Iowa - Cannot get these to grow
"This is my second year trying to grow these beautiful grasses. None of these survived the first year. They sent me replacements and these are not growing either and will not make it to next year. I wanted these in my perennial garden to showcase their beauty."
Struggling but still alive
"I saw pink muhly grass at the Missouri Botanical Gardens and was struck with its beauty. I got 3 to try in what should be a suitable area (lots of sun part of the day, well draining soil), and have set them up on an irrigation system (hot dry summers in St. Louis). They arrived dormant but appeared a good size and healthy roots. It has been a few months now, and they still largely look as they arrived (brown, dormant) with maybe 8-10 skinny and short green stems on each plant. Alive, but barely. They are planted near several Carex plants and some azaleas, all doing well. I will need to follow for a couple of years to see if they survive and start to thrive before I would get any more."
Didn't grow at all.
"I planted three of these last fall and they didn't come back. They were very dry when they arrived, and I suspect I may have received duds. Overall, I would suggest buying these locally, not having them shipped."
Great hardy grass
"I have a row of these grasses planted near the road next to a hedge of emerald green arborvitae. They receive full sun, very little supplemental water, and get hit with road salt and snow banks in the winter. They were tiny when I planted them but took right off. They look great. They are very pretty when blooming."
