Muhlenbergia capillaris (Pink Muhly Grass) | 20 Seeds | £3.49

A fully hardy, drought-tolerant, deciduous, perennial ornamental grass forming a showy clump

Stems and leaves originate from a dense basal clump, forming a rose-pink to magenta, silky haze of flower heads during late-summer to mid-autumn (flowering time typically 6-8 weeks)

Seed heads look attractive over winter, so for a year-round display, cut seed heads back just before spring

Please note: full germination instructions are printed on each pack

Muhlenbergia capillaris 🌱 Cold treatment is not vital but increases germination rate. Place in a zip-lock bag with lightly-moist propagation compost, then refrigerate for 12 weeks, opening & shaking the bag daily for aeration. Surface sow on propagation compost and cover with a thin 1mm layer of fine compost and keep at 21°C (70°F). A heated propagator is ideal. Non-heated propagators can be placed within direct sunlight in a warm room. Fine-mist spray with clean water daily.

Caution: Not for consumption. Choking hazard. Keep away from children & pets. Handle with care.
