Muhlenbergia emersleyi 'El Toro'

Muhlenbergia emersleyi, also known as Bullgrass, is an evergreen dense grass with a slightly coarse texture and long blue-green leaves. During the fall months, it produces masses of loose, rosy-purple flower spikes, which dry to a tan color in the winter.

This clump grass forms dense colonies in oak woodlands from Arizona to Texas. It is drought tolerant and thrives in full sun, reflected heat locations, and part shade. Vigorous spring pruning will remove any dormant foliage and flower spikes.
