UNDAUNTED® ruby muhly
Muhlenbergia reverchonii 'PUND01S'
Selection of long-lived grass brought from the southern Great Plains by Lauren & Scott Ogden. Graceful fine-textured gray-green mounds topped by clouds of tiny ruby flowers that glow brilliantly when backlit in autumn. Persistent winter beauty, superb in mass plantings; also for accents and erosion control. Read more here.
Tips from the pros: Very easy. Site where seed heads will be backlit by the sun if possible. Will grow in sandy soil but will need regular watering and growth will be slower.
