Pink Muhly Grass



Have you noticed the lovely 'clouds' of Pink Muhly Grass blooming all around the island. It's a spectacular plant for this area.

This is a photograph of a few clumps in my yard, which are struggling along. In the spring I need to have an irrigation pipe extended to this area and give them more attention.

I love pink muhly grass. I envy your garden. Here on the Bay, my garden floods whenever there is a storm or, like Hurricane Ike, an unusually high tide or storm surge. As a Santa Rosa Master Gardener, I'm becoming an expert on salt tolerant and wind tolerant plants. Unfortunately, pink muhly did not survive my Bay conditions. Thanks for the pictures.

I was wondering what that was! I took a picture of some along the Fort Pickens wall a week or so ago (it's somewhere on my blog...). It's beautiful stuff!
