Muhlenbergia reverchonii

Muhlenbergia reverchonii, often called seep muhly or undaunted muhly, is a lovely perennial bunch of grass celebrated for its stunning foliage and charming fall flowers. You can find it thriving on rocky slopes, flats, limestone outcroppings, and seep areas, stretching from central Oklahoma to central Texas. 

 

This grass showcases beautifully tufted, thread-like green leaves that arch gracefully in a basal clump, reaching heights and widths of up to 2 feet. In August, delightful masses of open inflorescences rise above the clump, showcasing soft clouds of pink flowers, which are followed by attractive seed heads that linger long into the fall. As winter approaches, the seed plumes and foliage turn a lovely tawny brown, with old basal sheaths forming a unique fibrous mass at the edges of the clump.

 

One special variety, known as UNDAUNTED, is a compact and hardy selection of muhly grass, reaching about 2 feet tall with a spread to match. Its flowering stalks emerge in late summer and gracefully mature in autumn to reveal soft, pink plumes. UNDAUNTED was discovered as a seedling of Muhlenbergia reverchonii 'Autumn Embers' and is also known in the trade by the cultivar name 'PUND01S'.

 

This grass truly flourishes in sandy or rocky soils, whether they are dry to medium moisture, but it particularly loves full sun. It stands up well to heat, humidity, and drought, though it tends to grow taller with consistent moisture. It’s also quite resilient in poor soils. Growing in dense clumps rather than spreading through rhizomes, this grass can be cultivated from seed or propagated through division in spring. It may even self-seed beautifully in your garden! Interestingly, despite its native growing range, this species boasts better winter hardiness, tolerating temperatures down to USDA Zone 5, compared to many other species of Muhlenbergia.

Spring Shipping:
Orders are shipped within 7-10 business days. We will email you if there are expected delays.

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.
