Pink Muhly Grass

Muhlenbergia capillaris, commonly known as Pink Muhly Grass, is a breathtaking ornamental grass that creates a stunning ethereal haze in the autumn garden. While originating from warmer climates, it can be successfully grown in sheltered parts of the UK with free-draining soil. Its fine, dark green foliage forms a neat clump, but it's the explosion of gossamer-like, vibrant pink to rosy-purple flower panicles in late summer and autumn that truly captivates. These airy plumes create a cloud of colour that shimmers delicately in the breeze, especially beautiful when backlit by the low autumn sun. It thrives in full sun and very well-drained soil, making it a fantastic choice for borders, mass plantings, or contemporary garden designs seeking a dramatic late-season display. Protect from prolonged wet winter cold.
