It can grow to 3-4 feet in height and 2-3 feet in width. The grass grows in clumps and its flower stalks bring a beautiful pink or purple airy look to any landscape usually beginning in August and ending in December. The grass can be cut back in December, but if you wait until early spring, it’ll provide a wispy winter interest. This grass is low maintenance, however, it’s best to divide the grass every 2-3 years. The grass is often planted near fences or in borders for better show. Why plant muhly Grass in your yard? Besides its showy color, it is drought tolerant, takes heat, and is forgiving to poor soils. Though it likes sun, it tolerates shade too. There is another variety called “White Cloud” if pink isn’t for you. Take a ride around to our LA Pavilion for a closer look.
