Ornamental Grass

Planting Muly Grass

14 years ago

I recently bought two ornamental grasses: Muhlenbergia capillaris "White Cloud" and a Mexican feather grass. Now I am wondering is this is a good time to plant them in the garden? I can pot them up and hold them til spring, but would prefer to just plant them outside. Which is best?

In your zone you can get away with planting them out now. I'll be planting potted grasses right into November.
