Description
I was totally unfamiliar with Muhly grass when I took this photograph at Daniel Stow Botanical Gardens in Belmont, NC. I only knew that I loved the color reflected from the morning sun, and the vibrant texture. The yellow and orange flowers that were a part of the landscape also accentuated the tones within the grass, and I was eager to share a different photo style with my viewers. In order to educate those of you, who like myself, are not familiar with this plant I have included some information taken directly from the e-How website.
"Muhly grass is a clump-forming perennial that grows 3 to 4 feet tall, with a similar spread. The wiry stems and leaves of the grass are topped with a purplish pink or pure pink inflorescence that is about 18 inches long and 10 inches wide. The inflorescence has a silky, light texture, and lasts for six to eight weeks in late summer. These are followed by wispy tan seed heads.
Muhly grass hails from eastern North America, where it grows from Kansas down to Florida, Texas and Mexico. The plant also grows naturally in the West Indies. Muhly grass occurs in beach dunes and sand hill communities, as well as wet prairies, savannas and upland pine forests. Muhly grass is a suitable landscape plant for USDA hardiness zones 6 to 10, where it will grow in full sunlight or light shade."
