    SKU: 1361 White Muhly Grass – Soft Texture with Elegant White Plumes in 2.5" Pots

    White Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris ‘White Cloud’) is a graceful, clump-forming ornamental grass known for its airy, cloud-like white plumes that float above fine-textured green foliage in late summer to fall. A stunning variation of the more common pink muhly, this native grass adds motion, softness, and seasonal interest to landscapes without overwhelming nearby plants. Drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and deer-resistant, White Muhly is ideal for borders, mass plantings, or as a delicate accent in native and modern gardens alike.
