Gulf Muhly is in full bloom right now in Austin and the Dripping Springs, Hill Country area. Just about anywhere you drive right now you see the pink poofs on the grass. The Gulf Muhly is a wonderful Texas native grass that takes our hot summers but also make it through our crazy winters.
The Gulf Muhly gets about 3 feet by 3 feet and prefers full sun if not half a day of the afternoon sun. They are fall bloomers and will go dormant in the winter. Most people will cut them back sometime in February in preparation for the spring, this gives them a nice full look but if you are not into maintenance, you can just let them be.
