Comments: Pink muhly grass is a drought tolerant ornamental grass noted for the textural variation it can provide in perennial borders. Soft, fluffy pink tufts of flowers top the foliage in late summer creating an exciting splash of color and texture. The flowers later turn brown and can add some winter interest. Pink muhly grass should be cut back in lat winter or early spring and can be divided before leafing out to maintain vigor.
