24-36" tall x 18-24" wide. Color up your fall garden with this showy, cold hardy native perennial grass. Blooming in early fall, Undaunted® Ruby Muhly (Plant Select) is a garden standout with its very showy, finely textured bright reddish-pink seed heads. In winter the grass and seed spikes turn a lovely tawny brown. A medium sized grass with thin, sometimes curling, mid-green foliage, this prized Muhly should be planted in drifts of 3 or more plants to maximize its impact in the landscape. Highly resistant to browsing deer, it is easily grown in a wide range of soils including heavy clay. This little-known grass species is native only to north TX and southwestern OK, but can be successfully grown throughout much of the country. It tolerates a wide range of growing conditions including heat, humidity, and cold winter temperatures. It's much more cold hardy and blooms earlier than its popular Zone 6 relative Gulf Coast Muhly, (Muhlenbergia capillaris). (Seed propagated)
Flat of 9 plants will cover 14-18 square feet when planted together.
