| Botanical Name | Muhlenbergia lindheimeri |
| Description | Often called the "Big Muhly," this Texas native is a champion for the Houston metro area. It is exceptionally well-adapted to our local conditions, thriving in the intense summer heat and high humidity. Unlike many ornamental grasses, Lindheimer's Muhly is quite tolerant of heavy clay soils and can handle the occasional "wet feet" during our rainy seasons, though it performs best in any well-drained sunny spot. Its blue-gray foliage provides a cooling effect in the landscape year-round. |
| Exposure | Full Sun |
| Height x Width | 3-5 feet Tall x 3-4 feet Wide |
| Water | Low to Moderate; very drought tolerant once established but appreciates monthly deep watering during peak Houston summers. |
| Zones | 7-11 |
| Fertilization | Minimal; apply a balanced slow-release fertilizer in early spring if growth appears sluggish. |
| Pruning | Cut back to 6 inches above the ground in late winter (February) to make room for fresh spring growth. |
| Deer Resistance | Yes |
