#ProPlantTips for Care:
It is best to plant your ornamental Muhly Grass in full sun for the best growth, the most blooms, and the strongest stems to stand up to wind and time. Plant in very well-drained soil since soggy conditions can rot the roots and weaken their stems. New Muhly Grasses need regular moisture while they are establishing, but can be drought tolerant once they have settled.
Provide a 3-4 inch thick layer of mulch around the roots of your plants to help them combat the effect of drought. Warm-season Ornamental Grasses need to be pruned in the early spring before they begin to grow again. Clean out their crowns of debris, and every 3-5 years to maintain the crown's vigor.
- Full Sun Perennials
- Adaptable to Most Well-Drained Soil Types
- Moderate to Low Moisture Once Established
- Provide Mulched Beds
- Prune In Early Spring
Airy plumes and easy-to-grow grace, the White Cloud Muhly Grass adds a unique native touch to warm climate landscapes! Order yours today at Nature Hills!
