Nashville Muhly is an eye-catching cultivar and part of the warm-season grass family, Poaceae. Standing at 2 to 3 feet tall and spreading 1 to 3 feet wide, it showcases a lovely clump of narrow, wispy, bluish-green grass. From September to October, this plant shines as its leaves are adorned with beautiful, airy clouds of pink-purple flower plumes. As time passes, these flowers age to a tan hue, and by mid-November, the plant rests in dormancy.
For best results, Nashville Muhly thrives in full sun but can also tolerate some partial shade. It’s a resilient, heat-loving grass that does well with low to moderate moisture. This tough plant is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant, making it an excellent choice for USDA hardiness zones 6 to 10. While it can stand beautifully on its own, for a truly spectacular display, consider planting it in groups or masses to create a breathtaking landscape feature.
