White Cloud Muhly Grass

White Cloud Muhly Grass produces airy white fall plumes above a neat clump of blue-green foliage. It offers the same soft, billowing effect as pink muhly while fitting naturally into white gardens and cooler color schemes. This native-grass cultivar performs best in full sun and well-drained soil and becomes drought tolerant once established. Use it in masses, sunny borders, slopes, or coastal plantings for a luminous fall display. Available for local pickup from Towns Edge Nursery.
