Hairawn Muhly

Also known as Hairy-awn Muhly, Hair Grass, and Pink Muhly, this perennial grass grows to 3 by 3 feet in size. Its wiry, thread-like, dark green leaves and stems form an attractive basal clump, producing masses of airy, loosely branched, pink to pinkish-red inflorescences, each up to 1 foot long. It is highly deer resistant, and grows in full sun, and in dry to moist soils, which can be sandy, rocky, or clayey.
