A NEW TEXAS SUPERSTAR

“Lindheimer muhly grass is amazingly adapted to all parts of the state and turns fall borders into graceful wands of fawn and tan,”

– Greg Grant, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service horticulturist and Texas Superstar executive board member.

“Lindheimer’s muhly is an extremely versatile grass with outstanding drought tolerance that makes an excellent native substitute for silvergrasses. This grass’s size allows it to serve as a low-input substitute for small to medium size shrubs.”

– Mike Arnold, Ph.D., Texas A&M AgriLife Research landscape horticulturist and Texas Superstar executive board member.
