Muhlenbergia sericea (syn. M. filipes, M. capillaris var. filipes) – Gulf Muhly
One of the most spectacular fall-blooming ornamental grasses, Gulf Muhly puts on a breathtaking show each autumn when its fine blue-green foliage is topped with billowing clouds of reddish-purple flowers that age to a soft pink as the season progresses. The airy plumes catch the light beautifully and move gracefully in the breeze, creating a stunning display in borders, meadows, and naturalistic plantings. Drought tolerant and deer resistant once established — a low-maintenance showstopper.
