Undaunted Ruby Muhly

Undaunted ruby muhly is a selection of a native grass found in the grasslands of Texas and Oklahoma. The thin grey-green leaves grow as a small arching mound.

In fall, the leaves are topped by many small, beautiful pink seedheads which create a misty appearance. It looks beautiful both as an accent plant or planted in masses. It naturally grows on rocky hillsides and grows best in hot microclimates.
