Muhly grass is native to the central and eastern parts of the United States and south to Mexico and Guatemala. This grass is found naturally in clay or thin rocky soils, especially in those soils that were formerly burned and prairie-like. They are also found in open woodlands, savannas, dry woodlands, and the mountains around rock outcrops.Β The genus, Muhlenbergia, was named after Gotthilf Muhlenberg, a botanist, chemist, and mineralogist.

Growing Pink Muhly Grass

- Water the grass regularly, particularly during the establishment period, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between watering sessions once established.
- Use well-draining soil, such as sandy or loamy soil, to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
- Pink Muhly Grass is drought-tolerant once established and thrives in USDA zones 6-9.
- Prune the grass in late winter or early spring to remove dead foliage and promote healthy growth, but avoid cutting into the crown of the plant.
