White Cloud Muhly Grass | Mulenbergia capillaris ‘White Cloud’
If you’re loving the ‘Pink’ Muhly Grass, then ‘White Cloud’ Muhly Grass will knock your socks off! And while all other plants are hibernating ‘White Cloud’ Muhly Grass is just getting started!
Pure white fluffy plumes cover this grass in the fall and will grace any garden setting. Larger than its pink counterpart, ‘White Cloud’ will astonish even the least plant lover. What makes this a good “go to” grass is that it offers many attributes other grasses only have single characteristics. ‘White Cloud’ is very adaptable for drought, heat, humidity, low maintenance, and is salt tolerant all bundled in one plant. In addition, the grass is fast growing which helps cover and hide unwanted objects quickly.
Uses
‘White Cloud’ Muhly Grass is very useful in the landscape as a ground cover for banks or borders and hedges where a 3–4-foot plant is needed. The soft texture of green grass emerges in spring and summer then turning tan to brown in the fall and winter adding winter interest through all 4 seasons. ‘White Cloud’ Muhly Grass will also perform in a large container for decks, patios, and pools. This grass makes a street plant since it tolerates all types of conditions and environments. We recommend planting ‘White Cloud’ Muhly Grass in full sun with at least 6 hours of sunshine for best production of blooms.
Care
Since this a 4-season grass, it will be very little care needed. A yearly shaping and dose of HICOTE 360-day fertilizer should be all you need to keep ‘White Cloud’ Muhly Grass in good shape. Proper spacing is important, so we recommend planting them 4 to 5 feet apart, unless a mass is desired, then plant closer for fuller effect.
Fertilize in early spring with our SR-18-5-10 slow release fertilizer for maximum growth and plant health.
