Pink muhly grass is characterized as a clumping warm-season perennial grass reaching heights of 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm). Its foliage consists of wiry, thread-like, dark green leaves, while the stems exhibit a similar coloration. In the fall, this plant produces distinctive pink to pinkish-red airy and open blooms, which appear to hover like a mist above the leaf blades. As the season progresses, the presence of tan seed plumes adds a touch of winter interest to the landscape.
