Comments: Purple Muhly Grass - Muhlenbergia capillaris is a showy clumping perennial grass that grows 3’ to 4' high and forms clumps 3’ - 4’ in diameter. This native grass flowers in the fall with the dried flower stalks remaining on the plant until Spring. The plant adapts to most any sunny location and is becoming increasingly popular. It is completely drought tolerant and hardy throughout the state. Use it in unirrigated areas where you are trying to reduce the lawn. Surround it with Beach Sunflowers and reduce your lawn space even more so you save more water and impact the environment less with these permanant no fuss perennials.
