This
ornamental grass is one of the best-known and best-selling in the Greggio Vivai collection. It is famous mainly for its
rich and soft bloom, pink, which appears in autumn and illuminated by the rays of the sun giving the vision of a cloud wrapped with unique shades.
Its inflorescence extends to the winter, when it is wrapped in the mist or is covered with frost and gives another fantastic, almost
magical spectacle.

leaves are green, long and thin, rough to touch; the ends curve slightly, creating a light and natural effect, and form an erect tuft.
It prefers
sunny locations and a well-drained and damp ground, but also good in pots, for patios and terraces.

Muhlenbergia capillaris on the ground, it is advisable to create a group, thus strengthening the color of the inflorescence, it can be
used as a border or a small hedge, but also to create mixed flower beds.
