Muhlenbergia capillaris (Grass, Gulf Muhly)

Grass, Gulf Muhly

Muhlenbergia capillaris 'Regal Mist'

Texas native dwarf ornamental clumping grass with glossy green foliage that becomes nearly hidden under the very attractive pink-red flowers in the late summer that almost become a haze over the entire plant, lasting up to a month. An outstanding choice for massings. Will grow back after a freeze and return in the spring.


Require well drained soils, and will suffer if left in areas with standing water. It is not required, however it’s recommended to cut back all dead foliage before spring solely for aesthetic reasons.
