They range from mid-size clumps with airy, colorful fall plumes to large, fountain-shaped grasses like deer grass, a staple of California native and water-wise gardens. Muhlys like full sun and well-drained soil, tolerate heat and drought once established, and add movement to borders, slopes, and mass plantings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrowse the full selection below. | Also available: \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/grass\"\u003eOrnamental Grasses\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/fescue-grass\"\u003eFescue Grass Plants\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/california-native-plants\"\u003eCalifornia Native Plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"muhlenbergia-sericea","title":"Sericea Muhly Grass","description":"\u003cp\u003eSericea Muhly Grass (\u003cem\u003eMuhlenbergia sericea\u003c\/em\u003e, syn. \u003cem\u003eM. filipes\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eM. capillaris\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003efilipes\u003c\/em\u003e) is a breathtaking ornamental grass native to the coastal plains and sandy soils of the southeastern United States, celebrated for its spectacular fall display of airy, reddish-purple flower plumes that age to soft pink and shimmer above a graceful mound of fine blue-green foliage. Often confused with the more common Muhlenbergia capillaris, sericea is a distinct and finer-textured species that produces even more delicate, cloud-like plumes in a richer, more saturated reddish-purple hue — creating one of the most stunning and ethereal grass displays available for the ornamental garden. From late summer through fall, the plant transforms into a luminous haze of color that catches the light magnificently at sunrise and sunset.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese Professional Grade 4\" plants are grown to the highest nursery standards, producing well-developed root systems that establish quickly and perform reliably in a wide range of garden conditions.
