We have been in a drought here in North Carolina.
I have had to water to keep most plants alive.
My Muhly grass did not need me.
This lovely Florida native is drought tolerant.
Its pink plumes add much needed color in October.
For my Lutheran readers, Muhly is short for Muhlenberg.
It is named after a Lutheran minister/ botanist Henry Ludwig Muehlenberg from the early 1800’s.
Muhly grass is a super star, rain or shine, in October.

I know a few Lutherans who speak of the good pastor/botanist as “Muhly,” too! It’s a gorgeous grass — one of my favorites.

I have seen patches of growth wild along the rivers outside Charleston but didn’t know what it was. Thanks.

Love the pictures! I think it is native from Florida to nearly Canada. Many mortals in the Piedmont have difficulty growing it..Flower is blessed.

Like the pink color. Always like plants that do not have to be watered – yet they thrive.

Our Gulf muhly, Muhlenbergia capillaris, is one of my favorite plants. Alas, I can’t grow it, I just don’t have enough full sun in my garden, so I enjoy others’ plantings. Your photos are gorgeous!

I was about to make the same comment as Tina. It is popular here too and so pretty. I have seen it growing wild in a field.
