Muhlenbergia rigens

Get ready for architectural drama! Deergrass brings incredible texture and movement to the garden with its fountain-like form and gorgeous plumes. This native grass is like living sculpture that sways beautifully in the breeze.

The tall, elegant flower spikes emerge in fall, creating stunning purple-tinged plumes that catch the light beautifully. The narrow, blue-green foliage forms perfect rounded clumps that look amazing year-round.
