Mesosetum Exaratum

Muhly grass, scientifically known as Mesosetum exaratum, is a striking native plant that thrives in arid and semi-arid environments. With its delicate, silver-blue foliage, it adds a unique aesthetic to landscapes and is often used in xeriscaping due to its drought tolerance. This grass is characterized by its tufted growth habit and can form dense, low-growing clumps that provide habitat for small wildlife. It is also valued for its ornamental appeal and ability to stabilize soils in erosion-prone areas. Despite its beauty, Muhly grass remains relatively underappreciated compared to more common ornamental grasses.
