White Cloud Muhly Grass
Muhlenbergia capillaris 'White Cloud' This densely mounding, finely textured grass grows well in a sandy, well drained soil. Beautiful plumes - late summer to fall color lasts 6-8 weeks. The white plumes seen at a distance is created by airy flower heads. We do not recommend planting ornamental grasses in the Autumn if you can avoid it. They prefer to have a bit longer to establish their root system. It's best to plant in Spring or Summer. Once established it needs little care. *Deer Seldom Browse* Photo courtesy of Toms Creek Nursery in Denton, NC (336) 857-2131 Ornamental Characteristics Category Perennial, Ornamental Grass Foliage Type Dormant in winter Height 3' - 4' Spread 2' - 3' Shape Clump-forming Primary Foliage Color Green, medium Seasonal Foliage Color Dormant during colder months Flowering Season Summer Flower Color White Plumes late Summer - Autumn Environmental Characteristics Growth Rate Moderate Sun Preferences Ful
