We're always looking for ways to take fall color in gardens to the next level. The trees take care of the oranges, reds, and yellows, but what about the more subtle, awe-invoking colors link pink? Undaunted® Ruby Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia reverchonii 'PUND01S') is exactly what the fall garden is missing.
Before its fall show though, Undaunted gives quite the spring and summer performance as an accent plant in your garden. Planted in clumps of three for maximum effect, this grass grows lovely green foliage.
You'll find that this grass tends to grow in a nice, compact, rounded formation. This creates a pleasing half-circle appearance that's sure to delight and invites a closer look.
Undaunted's genus, Muhlenbergia, honors amateur botanist Lutheran paster Gotthilf Henry Ernest Muhlenberg (1753-1815) who was quite distinguished in the field.
This grass is sometimes referred to as seep muhly but, personally, we like its official name as it isn't intimidated by colder weather in the slightest. You'll find this Muhly grass is hardier than many others in the genus.
As the air turns crisp and our thoughts turn to apple cider and pumpkin patches, Undaunted Ruby Muhly Grass gets to work setting up its own fall attraction. Finely textured red seed heads will rise above the foliage to make a stunning pink haze!
This native grass keeps its color through fall and into winter, giving your garden a burst of color even as other plants fade into dormancy.
Just imagine how pretty the ornamental grass would look surrounded by a fresh dusting of pure white snow!
As an added bonus, Undaunted Ruby Muhly Grass seems to be deer resistant for the most part. So you won't have to worry about waking up to find the munch markings of a hungry deer.
The unique pink seed heads and its impressive cold hardy tendency are just a couple of reasons to add Undaunted Ruby Muhly Grass to your garden.
