Muhlenbergia Dubia

Design with this plant

Overview

Pine Muhly (Muhlenbergia dubia) is a finely textured, clumping grass standing about 2 feet tall with an equal spread. Noteworthy for its pine-like appearance and adaptability, it thrives in full sun to part shade and tolerates drought once established. Its delicate green to blue-green foliage provides a year-round aesthetic, while pale seed heads add autumn interest. Ideal for mass plantings and rock gardens, it requires minimal maintenance. Zones 5-9.
