In late summer and early fall, this warm season grass steals the show. Its plumes of airy pink seed heads create an ethereal display like no other. Well after its fall splendor, it serves as a stunning addition to dried flower arrangements. This species has better better tolerance of cold winters than the more commonly known Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris), and the Undaunted selection is particularly compact and heat tolerant.
