With a light, airy pink display that is worthy of a fairy princess, pink mulhy grass is an easy-to-grow, ornamental grass which provides gorgeous late-season color.  Its delicate pink plume seed heads completely envelop the foliage in late summer, swaying gently in the late summer and fall breezes.  They can be planted en masse, in a patio container or placed between shrubs in the landscape. This beautiful but rugged perennial is deer resistant, thrives in nearly any soil, and tolerates heat, humidity and even drought conditions.

Plant your pink mulhy grass in any type of soil, so long as it drains well.   Several can be planted together but space them at least 2 feet apart for an eye popping affect. The lighting should be as bright and sunny as you can find in your garden or landscaping. With the exception of light trimming if you wish, this grass thrives on cruel neglect. It tolerates rocky soil where there is little organic matter, merciless sun and stretches of dry weather.

The cascading leaves on this plant have a fountain-like appearance, thereby giving the grass its name. Fountain grass is a mound-forming, perennial ornamental grass and a garden and landscaping favorite, as the care of fountain grass is easy. Clump-forming grasses grow in mounds or clumps, making them ideal for many areas without becoming invasive. It can be used alone as a specimen plant or in a border alongside other perennials.
Blooming of its foxtail-looking flowers generally takes place from late summer through the fall. The small flowers of fountain grass are tan, pink or purple. During fall and throughout winter, this plant will also reward growers with spectacular foliage displays. There are different types of fountain grass from which to choose, ranging in size from 12 inches to 3 feet. One of the most common varieties is dwarf fountain grass and its light tan blooms turn pinkish brown in the fall. Purple fountain grass has both purple foliage and blooms and is another popular landscaping option.

With creamy white, feathery plumes and clumps of lush, grass-like foliage, pampa grass makes for an attractive and popular addition to most landscapes. It is native to southern South America and is named for the Pampas region in which it thrives. Pampas grass loves the full sun but will tolerate partial shade as well as drought and wind. It will also grow in a wide range of soil types but prefers moist, well-draining soil. It is a fast grower and does need plenty of room to grow. It works well as a filler for areas of your landscaping that are sparse such as corners of the yard or flowerbeds.

Native to North America, Mexican feather grass, with its delicate, pale green silky flowers which turn wheat-colored at the tips of stems that gracefully move and dance in the blowing wind, is a beautiful choice for softening the look of any landscape. This sun-lover grows 18 to 24 inches tall and is relatively drought resistant. In addition to its delicate attractiveness, it requires little water, mingles easily with other perennial, provides excellent structure in landscapes and gardens year-round and will provide a long-lasting display through the summer.

Native to the Great Plains region, blue grama grass is a low growing grass and is one of the shortest native ornamental grasses. It receives it names from the blue-green seed heads it produces and has a unique look from other ornamental grasses due to the seed heads that appear to be suspended horizontally in the air from the stem. Blue grama grass grows about 12 to 14 inches high and attracts birds and butterflies. It is drought tolerant, loves the full sun and requires very little water. It will tolerate wide range of soil types and is a perfect option for areas of your landscaping that need erosion control.

Nothing says summer like watching the wind blow through the delicate and wispy stalks of ornamental grasses creating soft, soothing sounds and adding a sense of peacefulness to the landscape with their quiet beauty. Along with the expected green, the foliage can be found also in blue, red, and purple and range in types from low mounding to tall plants.

These simple yet elegant plants soften our landscapes with texture, color, and lively movement. Besides the beauty they provide, there are other benefits such as providing shelter and protection for insects and small mammals as well as preventing soil erosion on slopes. Available in varieties such as Pink or Gulf Mulhy, Purple Fountaingrass, Mexican Feathergrass, Blonde Ambition, Big Muhly or Lindheimer, and many more.
