Our national attention is turning to climate change. All the data say it's crunch time and that plants are essential for building communities that can withstand these changes. A 2016 report from the EPA explored ways green infrastructure can improve community resiliency. Ornamental grasses and sedges can be part of the answer in all the case studies cited in the EPA report. Grasses and sedges anchor the plantings that help clean our water, reduce flooding and lessen the effects of rising temperatures. Let's work towards a better environment. Muhlenbergia capillaris is one of the most exciting members of the grass world. Pink Muhly Grass is sought after for several reasons: spectacular pink plume color, drought tolerance and undemanding nature. Pink Muhly Grass grows in a mound with erect, blue-green foliage until September when spectacular, billowing pink seed heads form a cotton-candy crown. When planted in masses, the dramatic effect can take your breath away. Because it is drought tolerant and requires little attention once established, Muhlenbergia capillaris is used extensively on golf courses and in home landscapes. Its excellent on steep banks. Pink Muhly Grass should be cut back in early spring, but cut well above the crown (3 in. to 4 in.) to preserve growing points. When planted in masses, allow adequate spacing for good air circulation to help prevent tar spot (Phyllachora). If planting in fall, plant at least a month before first frost in improve overWintering.
