     In the category of stunning grasses, Pink Muhly stands out.  Its late-summer inflorescences glow hot pink and appear cloud-like above the foliage.  These glorious colors arise just as most summer blooms are fading.  From afar it looks like a pink haze above deep green foliage.

 

     Butterflies songbirds are attracted to Pink Muhly, which makes a great specimen although becomes a show stopper when planted en masse.

 

     Fun fact: Capillaris means hair-like
