One of North America’s most beautiful and adored ornamental grasses, Undaunted Ruby Muhly Grass was originally discovered in 2003 from a population of Muhlenbergia reverchinii growing in the wild in north central Texas. As with its cousin Pink Muhly Grass, it is a long-lived, hardy perennial grass with fine-textured soft green foliage throughout the growing season. It forms a well-behaved mound to 30 inches and equally as wide that becomes covered in a cloud-like profusion of pinkish-red flowers in late summer through fall. When backlit by sunlight the flower effect is breathtaking, like a crimson halo hovering over the plant. Expanded trials have established its cold hardiness to USDA Zone 5 (-20F) and heat tolerance to Zone 10b, making it hardy over much of North America. Easy to grow and low-maintenance, Undaunted Ruby thrives in most soils including alkaline clay, and adapts to water-logging as well as drought. In the wild it often grows on hardpan that is briefly saturated and then dries out entirely. Excellent as an accent and truly stunning in groupings or massed.
