watering
Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia reverchonii 'Autumn Embers') should receive 1 inch of water per week, either through rainfall or irrigation. Ideally, water the grass in the morning, as this will help to reduce moisture losses through evaporation. Make sure not to water the grass more than once a day, as this can lead to root rot. During hot weather, it may need more frequent irrigation. Additionally, keep the soil moist but not soggy, as too much water can lead to the grass's inability to establish a strong root system.
sunlight
Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia reverchonii 'Autumn Embers') prefers to grow in full sun for at least 5 to 6 hours a day. In hot climates, the plant should be grown in part shade to avoid burning from direct sunlight during the hottest hours. In cooler climates, Muhly grass tolerates full sun during the day, providing ample opportunity for photosynthesis and growth. For optimal growth and flowering, the grass should receive as much light as possible during the growing season.
pruning
Muhly grass (Muhlenbergia reverchonii 'Autumn Embers') should be pruned twice a year, in the spring and late summer. In the spring, it should be pruned back by about 1 third of its height. In the late summer, prune the grass back by 1 half to 2 thirds of its height. This will promote more vigorous growth and flowering in the following season. When necessary, dead or broken stems can be removed throughout the growing season to help promote a denser look.
