Muhlenbergia capillaris ‘White Cloud’, commonly known as White Cloud Muhly Grass, is a graceful ornamental grass prized for its soft, airy plumes of silvery-white flowers that create a cloud-like effect in the landscape. Blooming in late summer through fall, this elegant grass produces a stunning display of delicate flower panicles that add movement, texture, and seasonal interest while catching light beautifully in the garden. Its fine, green foliage forms a tidy clump that provides structure throughout the growing season.
This low-maintenance native ornamental grass thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soils, including dry, sandy, and rocky conditions. Once established, White Cloud Muhly Grass is drought tolerant, heat tolerant, and deer resistant, making it an excellent choice for water-wise landscapes, native plant gardens, prairie-style plantings, and low-maintenance landscapes. Its adaptability and graceful form make it a versatile addition to both residential and commercial designs.
Ideal for landscape borders, mass plantings, foundation plantings, rock gardens, meadow gardens, and naturalized landscapes, Muhlenbergia capillaris ‘White Cloud’ pairs beautifully with coneflowers, asters, ornamental grasses, and other sun-loving perennials. Whether planted as a soft focal point or in sweeping drifts, White Cloud Muhly Grass delivers exceptional fall beauty, year-round texture, and reliable performance in a wide range of landscape settings.
