Muhlenbergia sericea

Cultivation Details

Muhlenbergia sericea is native to the warm temperate and subtropical coastal regions of southeastern N. America where the harsh coastal environment is subject to high temperatures, storm surges, and frequent inundation. The soils on which this grass is often found have a high water table. Long-term survival of native stands may be dependent on this hydroperiod regime, where soils remain wet during all but the driest season of the year. There is generally a much higher soil organic content than is found in the adjacent dunes and pH levels range from 6.0 - 8.5^[1]..
