Cotton candy and roses

October 30th, 2008, 11:36 am · 4 Comments · posted by Cindy McNatt

There are a few types of Muhlenbergia, but if you want a look like this, ask your nurseryperson for ‘Pink Muhly’ as a partner for your pink roses.

This cotton candy-like grass blooms from September through January and tolerates wet or dry soil as long as it is well-drained. Cut it back in early spring for new growth next year.

Post script: Great minds think alike. Sharon Cohoon on the Sunset blog, Fresh Dirt, posted about Pink Muhly too. See how it looks in a drier setting in Arizona.
