Pine Muhly
- Shipping Available
Muhlenbergia dubia, commonly called Pine Muhly Grass, is a perfect smaller option to the Big Muhly when space is limited. This dense, evergreen, clump-forming grass has stiff and upright green leaves, providing the tidy formal look of Big Muhly. The flowers are narrow cream to tan rods similar to those of Deer Grass. This grass comes from elevations of 3,300-5,000 feet in the Chihuahuan desert in eastern Arizona, New Mexico, South Texas, and northern Mexico.
Plant in full sun in fairly well-drained soil. Little supplemental irrigation is required, but if the soil drains well, it can handle more regular irrigation.

Winter Shipping: We will continue to ship throughout winter. If you prefer, we are happy to hold your order until spring; please include that request in your shipping notes.
When you order plants from our nursery, you can expect them to arrive in the best possible condition. Our team carefully packs each order using sturdy, biodegradable packaging materials.
Your plants' appearance may vary depending on the season and their current growth stage. We may cut back the leafy growth of some plants to prepare them for shipment and transplanting.
5 Gallon and Up: Any plant purchased to ship over 5 Gallons will be shipped bare root. This means we will remove the plant from its original pot, remove the soil surrounding the roots, and wrap the roots with a biodegradable plastic bag. This reduces weight and the likelihood of damage during shipping.
Once your plants arrive, it is essential to plant them as soon as possible. This will help them rebound and thrive. If you cannot plant immediately, water regularly and keep the roots off heat-conducting surfaces.
Newly transplanted plants often require more water until their roots are well established. Plan to water them 1-3 times weekly for the first few months.
