Muhlenbergia dubia, commonly known as Pine Muhly Grass, is an evergreen perennial grass native to semi-arid regions, including desert grasslands and open woodlands in Mexico and the Southwestern United States. It typically grows to a height and width of 3 feet (0.9 meters), forming dense clumps of fine-textured, blue-green foliage. Pine Muhly Grass is appreciated for its airy and delicate appearance, with narrow leaves that give it a pine-like look. During the fall, it produces fine-textured, feathery inflorescences that can add a soft, misty effect to the landscape.

Pine Muhly Grass is valued for its drought tolerance and low maintenance requirements, making it an excellent choice for xeriscaping and naturalistic plantings. It is often used in rock gardens, as an accent plant, or in mass plantings for erosion control. This grass thrives in full sun to part shade and prefers well-drained soils. It is highly adaptable to different soil types, provided they are not waterlogged. While generally pest and disease-free, it can occasionally suffer from root rot if overwatered. Pine Muhly Grass is not known for aggressive roots or significant disease issues, making it a trouble-free addition to the garden.CC BY-SA 4.0
