watering
Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris 'White Cloud') should be watered once per week, but the amount of water will depend on the season and the local climate. During spring and summer, it should be watered so that the soil is kept moist but not saturated. In dry, hot climates, it may need to be watered more frequently. During winter, water should be limited so that the soil is allowed to dry out in between waterings. It's best to check the soil before watering to make sure that the plant is not already too wet.
sunlight
Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris 'White Cloud') is a fast-growing ornamental grass native to North America. The plant thrives best with 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight each day. While it can tolerate partial shade, too much shade can prevent the grass from adequately growing and flowering. For best growth and flowering, Muhly grass needs full sun during the late spring, summer and fall months. Additionally, its leaves may burn in…
pruning
Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia capillaris 'White Cloud') is best pruned in late winter or early spring, just before new growth begins. Pruning should be done selectively, as too much can result in a thin, sparse appearance. It should be trimmed back to just a few inches above the soil surface, removing the old, dead and damaged stems. By cutting away the old foliage, you are giving the plants a chance to really flourish during the growing season. Additionally, light pruning can be done later in the season to help shape the plant and control its size. Remove no more than 1-third of the plants’ overall height at a time.
