Lindheimer's Muhly (Muhlenbergia lindheimeri) is a striking perennial bunchgrass that forms a fountain-like clump, reaching heights of 3 to 6 feet. It features blue-green, fine-textured foliage and silvery seedheads that add visual interest. This species, native from the Edwards Plateau of central Texas to northern Mexico, is well-suited for use as a large-scale specimen grass or screening plant. It thrives in full sun and well-drained, rocky limestone soils. Lindheimer's Muhly is not only visually appealing but also provides good forage for livestock and wildlife, and its leaves are used by birds for nesting. It is highly deer-resistant and can tolerate both heat and cold. It is semi-evergreen in warmer climates and will go dormant in the winter. Scientific Name: Muhlenbergia lindheimeri Origin: Texas, Mexico Height: 3 to 6 feet Spread: 2 to 3 feet Light: Full Sun Water: Medium Blooms: May-November USDA Zones: 7-10
