Muhlenbergia reverchonii Undaunted®

Commonly called Ruby Muhly Grass, Muhlenbergia reverchonii Undaunted® is a low-maintenance Ornamental Grass that takes its name from a rugged disposition that’s unfazed by winter cold, summer heat and drought. It forms a neat clump of light green foliage, and in late summer, mounts a display of airy, ruby-tinged flower spikes. Backlit by the afternoon sun, these blooms are breathtaking. This North American native perennial is a great choice for xeric or water-wise gardens as well as dry borders, where it mixes well with Blue Fescue, Yarrow, and Butterfly Weed. 'Pund01s'

Muhlenbergia, commonly called Muhly Grass, is a genus of about 150 species of mostly perennial Grasses growing in open, arid and semi-arid areas of the Western Hemisphere, particularly in the xeric Southwest and dry prairie states. They are warm-season growers that form clumps of fine-textured basal foliage and inflorescences ranging from stiff, narrow spikes to clouds of airy pink or white. Native Muhlenbergia species and cultivars are tough and beautiful plants. They are extremely low-maintenance and drought tolerant, useful in xeriscapes and water conserving situations, and can take the heat. Well-draining soil is essential for winter survival. Here in Connecticut, we have taken advantage of extra-good drainage on a steep hillside site in full sun to grow Muhlenbergia reverchonii Undaunted® with great success. Plant in groups or drifts in full sun on rocky slopes, in sandy, unimproved soil, or as a single spectacular specimen skirted with other waterwise native plants.

HOW PLANTS ARE SHIPPED

The size of the plants we ship has been selected to reduce the shock of transplanting. For some, this means a large, bareroot crown. Others cannot travel bareroot or transplant best if grown in containers. We ship these perennials and annuals in 1 pint pots, except as noted. We must point out that many perennials will not bloom the first year after planting, but will the following year, amply rewarding your patience. We ship bulbs as dormant, bare bulbs, sometimes with some wood shavings or moss. Shrubs, Roses, vines, and other woody plants may be shipped bareroot or in pots. The size of the pot is noted in the quick facts for each item.

We ship our bulbs and plants at the right time for planting in your area, except as noted, with orders dispatched on a first-come, first-served basis by climate zone.
