Plumetastic Pink Muhly Grass is a delicate looking ornamental grass that forms dense clumps of upright grass-like foliage that stays green longer than the species.  The narrow dark green foliage is topped with abundant fluffy purple-pink plumes that bloom from late summer through fall.  its tan seed heads persist into winter.  Best color in full sun and moist well-drained soil.  

Muhlenbergia capillaris acts as a host plant for several moth and butterfly species, as well as provides habitat for traveling butterflies.
