Shipping & Returns
Shipping live plants sometimes has its challenges when dealing with inclement weather but we strive to have every single order shipped out on their scheduled shipping date. Most orders will be scheduled to ship within 1-2 weeks of ordering. Because a plant needs TLC we only ship out on Mondays-Wednesdays to ensure the plants aren’t stationed somewhere over the weekend with no water or sunlight.

Do they do well in pots outside? And what type of sun exposure is best? I have a home with lots of shade.
Yes, Pink Muhley Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris) can grow well in pots outdoors, but it needs full sun (at least 6 hours daily) to bloom properly.
If your home has lots of shade, it’s not the best choice, as it may grow thin and not flower.
-
do I plant them in the pot in my yard or remove the plant from pot?
If you are planting them in the ground, then you would remove the pot they are in.
-
How far apart should I plant these? Also, do you recommend this as a "middle plant" for a bed with Texas Sage on the ends?
When planting Pink Muhly Grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris), space the plants 24 to 36 inches apart to allow them room to spread and achieve their full, airy form. Pink Muhly Grass works beautifully as a "middle plant" in a bed with Texas Sage on the ends. Its soft, feathery pink plumes provide a stunning contrast to the more structured, silvery foliage of Texas Sage, creating a dynamic and visually appealing landscape design.
