‘White Cloud’ is a cultivar of the native grass Muhlenbergia capillaris. White Cloud Muhly Grass produces beautiful, moonlight white, billowing seed heads and fine-textured, blue-green foliage.

It has a more upright shape, grows a bit taller, and blooms shortly after Pink Muhly Grass. Its airy, ivory blooms embellish and soften the landscape, and rival the breathtaking look that Pink Muhly is famous for achieving.

Drought tolerant, undemanding, and elegant, it is a capable candidate for highway projects, difficult areas, and mass plantings. In the landscape, it combines well with the colorful red and orange fall foliage of other grasses.

Host plant for certain butterfly and moth species including the Orange Skipperling Butterfly
