Pink Flamingos Muhly Grass

Pink Flamingo Muhly Grass is a tall perennial grass that tops 5 feet when in bloom. It forms a clump of slender gray-green leaves, and then in late summer flower plumes grow up, carrying masses of feathery pink grass flowers. It is in bloom for many weeks, making a magical highlight of the gardening year. Very drought resistant, it is ideal for xeric and water-wise gardens, and it also thrives at the shore. Grow it in shrub beds, with perennial flowers, or alone in drifts along a pathway or on banks and slopes.

• A beautiful cloud of pink from late summer through fall
• The tallest of the muhly grasses, passing 5 feet when in flower
• Forms a dense clump and is never invasive
• Highly drought tolerant for xeric gardens, and salt tolerant too
• Very low maintenance and thrives in poor soils

Plant Pink Flamingo Muhly Grass in full sun or with just a couple of hours of shade each day. It grows best, and overwinters best, in drier soils, so avoid heavy, wet areas and plant on higher ground and slopes, especially in cooler zones. It is deer, pest and disease free normally, but hates damp, especially in winter. Cut back the clumps to 4 inches tall in late fall in cooler zones or in late winter in warmer areas.
