Shrubs - Muhly Grass

Muhly Grass, aka hair grass, is a clumping bunch grass to 3 feet in height with an equal spread.  This wispy, airy, perennial grass plant that suggests movement of air, has a cooling effect in the landscape.  Color is seen mostly during later warm season (fall in Phoenix), followed by the brown air of winter.  Full sun, no shade.  Tolerant of Phoenix heat and cold.  The cultivar Regal Mist is most popular.

Scientific name:  Muhlenbergia capillaris
