Bright Pink Plumes Rise in Early Fall to Explode in Color & Texture

This dwarf pink Muhly grass shrub cultivar is as unique as it is breathtaking! In the autumn, it creates an incredible display of billowy, vibrant pink ‘hairgrass’ that will add a playful yet sophisticated look to your garden.

This North Carolina native plant’s fall flowering makes it a very distinguishing ornamental grass addition to any landscape. In the early spring growing season, white flowering stalks shoot up before its pink flowers form season color.

Masses of airy, open, loosely branched blooms (each to 12 inches long) in purple-red to pink colors hang above the dark green foliage in lengthy fall bloom. Some may say it looks like cotton candy pink grass giving it the nickname of cotton candy grass! Tan seed head plumes continue to thrive all through winter on this grass.

Does Dwarf Pink Muhly Grass Come Back Every Year?

I've always admired the pink plumes on this grass and needed something to go along a natural area beside my pool. My order was shipped the next day and showed up well packaged and looking great.
