Muhlenbergia lindheimeri, or Lindheimer’s Muhly is also called Big Muhly for it’s sizeable tufts of blue-green foliage and stately flower spikes. Native to northern Mexico and into Texas, the blades of this bunch grass grow in arching sprays 3-5’ tall and wide. In fall, showy tan/silver inflorescences rise above the foliage to a height of 6 feet. Cold hardy to temperatures below 15° F, Big Muhly is semi-evergreen in mild, Mediterranean climates and will go dormant in colder areas. Tolerant of drought, coastal conditions and some shade. Fun fact: Muhlenbergia lindheimeri is named after the German Texan botanist Ferdinand Jacob Lindheimer (1801 -1879), who spent his life on the American Frontier. Use Lindheimer’s Muhly in narrow borders as a screen or in meadows.
