Deer Grass (Muhlenbergia rigens) is a native ornamental grass valued for its graceful form, fine texture, and tough performance in arid climates. It forms large, rounded clumps of green foliage that arch outward, creating soft movement in the landscape. In summer and fall, tall flower spikes rise above the foliage, adding vertical interest and a subtle golden hue.
This grass is a staple in water-wise landscapes due to its high drought tolerance, low maintenance needs, and versatility. It thrives in full sun, handles poor soil, and works beautifully in borders, parkways, and mass plantings. Deer Grass is also ideal for erosion control and adds natural beauty to modern, desert, or native-inspired designs.
