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.

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.
