Planting and Growing

Undaunted Ruby Muhly Grass will grow to be about 18 inches tall at maturity extending to 30 inches tall with the flowers | with a spread of 24 inches.

It grows at a slow rate | and under ideal conditions can be expected to live for approximately 10 years.

Be careful not to disturb the crown in late winter when it may not be readily seen!

This plant does best in full sun to partial shade. It prefers dry to average moisture levels with very well-drained soil | and will often die in standing water. It is considered to be drought-tolerant | and thus makes an ideal choice for a low-water garden or xeriscape application. This plant does not require much in the way of fertilizing once established. It is not particular as to soil pH | but grows best in poor soils. It is somewhat tolerant of urban pollution. This is a selection of a native North American species. It can be propagated by division; however | as a cultivated variety | be aware that it may be subject to certain restrictions or prohibitions on propagation.
