Description

Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris), also known as Pink Hair Grass, is an ornamental grass prized for its airy, fountain-shaped form and spectacular seasonal color. Its slender, dark green foliage forms graceful clumps, while ruby-pink flowerheads emerge from late summer through fall, creating a soft, cloud-like haze above the leaves. When planted in groups, the abundant blooms create a striking pink display. With low to moderate water needs, this versatile grass adds texture, movement, and vibrant seasonal interest to garden borders and landscapes.
