Prepare by digging a hole slightly larger than the root ball. Gently place the plant in the hole and fill with soil. Water thoroughly after planting to promote strong root development. Watering: Regular watering is crucial during the initial growing season to promote root development, even though Pink Muhly Grass is drought-resistant. Once established, deep but infrequent watering is ideal. Allow the soil to dry out before watering again. Organic mulch around the base of the plant can provide benefits like moisture retention, weed suppression, and regulating soil temperature. Just make sure the mulch doesn't touch the stems to prevent rotting. Pruning: To encourage new, vibrant growth, trim back previous year's growth in early spring. Use clean, sharp tools to remove any dead or damaged foliage. Fertilizing is not usually necessary as Pink Muhly Grass\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUses in the Landscape:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nPink Muhly Grass is a low maintenance perennial that thrives in full sun and well drained soil, making it versatile and effortless to care for.

As a horticulturist, the plants and trees were amazing and completely different from the plants we have in the South. One ornamental grass that stood out for me was Karl Foerster. Widely used in Jackson, WY, with good reason, this grass stood out above all other plants in the landscape. Beautiful green foliage with 50+ stems holding gorgeous tan plumes.  The uses were creative as well, being planted in small borders and hedges that reached 2-3 feet tall, to a wide array of container plantings, like barrels, wash tubs, and large urns. Why so many different containers? The locals said they could easily move the containers in and out of the cold weather at night and bring them back out when the temperatures warmed. Smart thinking, that got me to thinking Ornamental grasses need to be expanded in the container uses around the garden.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize in early spring with our \u003cb\u003eSR-18-5-10\u003c\/b\u003e slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur processing time usually is 1-3 days after receiving the order.

Whether in quart or 3 gallon sizes, such as the Miscanthus adagio quart and 3 gallon options, this drought tolerant grass is perfect for enhancing outdoor spaces.

Reaching a height of 4 feet and a width of 8 feet, its fan-shaped plumes add an extra touch of drama in late summer. As winter approaches and a frost covers the landscape, the plant goes dormant, turning a hay color that adds life and movement to the winter garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of its wider shape rather than height, this grass won't droop in the rain like taller varieties.

It grows shorter and more erect than other types.  This tiny species, which is hardy in zones 5 through 9, has gorgeous green foliage that is sharply striped with horizontal yellow bands, giving it a zebra-like appearance all during the growth season.  For extra landscape appeal, beautiful reddish-pink plumes emerge above the leaves in late summer or early autumn. These plumes mature to a mellow tan and continue into the winter.  Although they have a faint earthy perfume, the blossoms are more for show than for powerful fragrance.  'Little Zebra' grows to a moderate height of 3 to 4 feet and spreads 2 to 3 feet wide, making it ideal for container gardening, foundation plantings, and borders.  It is perfect for both novice and seasoned gardeners since it is native, resistant to rabbits and deer, low care, and simple to cultivate.  This adaptable grass attracts birds and butterflies, blooms for a long period, blends in well with bigger settings, produces gorgeous cut flowers, and adds outstanding winter interest.  Large doses of any ornamental grass may cause moderate stomach distress, but they are not hazardous to dogs.  It is a low-maintenance pollinator-friendly choice that grows best in full sun and soil that drains well.  Plant in the early spring or autumn, mulch around the base to retain moisture and keep weeds at bay, and water often throughout the first growing season to create strong roots.  Before new growth appears in late winter or early spring, prune back to a few inches above the ground.  Although 'Little Zebra' often thrives without intensive feeding, if you'd like, gently treat in the spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer.  For a season-long, low-maintenance splash of color and movement, include this striking, colorful grass into your landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eCare: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFertilize in early spring with our \u003cb\u003eSR-18-5-10\u003c\/b\u003e slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrdering;\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur processing time usually is 1-3 days after receiving the order.
