Description
 
Typically found in sandy coastal areas, in woodlands, or in rocky soils. It is native to the eastern United States and Mexico. M. capillaris is a gardener's favorite amongst ornamental grasses. It has fine, dark green foliage that appears somewhat glossy.  It is the seed heads, however, that make this grass so special. It blooms from summer to early fall, with a showy display of delicate pink seed panicles, that hold well through early fall. Its pink inflorescense seems to float above the plant like soft clouds. Most attractive in grouped plantings and sweeps. It is very drought tolerant and performs best in full sun or light shade.  Attracts birds and butterflies!

AWESOME GRASS October 6, 2009
Reviewer: Santa Rosa Gardens for life! from DALLAS, TX United States  
I planted this grass in the spring of 2009.  It is in full bloom right now and it is simple beautiful.  The blooms have a wispy, dreamy purple look.  Simply beautiful when planted in mass!

Muhly Grass March 26, 2009
Reviewer: Sherry Butler from Horn Lake, MS United States  
Thank you for the order. I am way to impressed with my order. Not only did everything come in looking like I just bought them out of the store but, the price and short delivery was great. I'm glad I found Santa Rosa Gardens

Reviewer: Joseph G. from Mobile, AL  
a great NATIVE grass! Nice to have this kind of color in a native along the gulf coast. Saw this at a golf course planted out by the hundreds and it's incredible when blooming!

I WAS SO IMPRESSED July 1, 2008
Reviewer: Lochie from TX  
I just unpacked my order this a.m. The packaging was great but what I was so impressed with was the plants. These were actually plants that I would have purchased if I had seen them in person. I do a lot of mail ordering and am usually disappointed with the plants. They are the wors! But yours were great at a reasonable price. I am puttin in an ornamental grass garden so I found many of what I had been searching for. Variety, quality and good service! What else can you ask for? I will be ordering other plants in the future. Thanks again!
