| Botanical Name | Muhlenbergia capillaris |
| Description | A highly desirable Texas native ornamental grass known for its spectacular "pink cloud" effect in autumn. It is exceptionally well-suited to the Houston metro area, tolerating heat, humidity, and poor soils. While it can handle occasional wet feet, it performs best in well-drained locations and is famously drought-tolerant once established. |
| Exposure | Full Sun (Crucial for best bloom production and tidy habit) |
| Height x Width | 3' Height x 3' Width |
| Water | Low to Moderate; once established, it is extremely drought-tolerant. |
| Zones | 6 - 10 |
| Fertilization | Minimal; apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring if growth appears sluggish. |
| Pruning | Cut back to about 3-6 inches above the ground in late winter/early spring before new green growth emerges. |
| Deer Resistance | High |
