Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) is a stunning ornamental grass known for its vibrant, airy pink plumes that appear in late summer to fall. These cotton-candy-like plumes float above fine, green foliage, creating a spectacular, ethereal display that adds texture and color to gardens and landscapes. This low-maintenance perennial grass is drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for borders, mass plantings, or as an accent in xeriscapes.
