Muhly grass can be late to emerge, but also can be susceptible to root rot if too wet in winter. The first Muhly I planted was one I bought while dormant in winter and it never emerged the following spring. I bought several Muhlys last spring that were already growing and they did very well for me, and have already greened up this spring with lots of new growth. My Muhlys did develop some problems with rust early last summer because I was watering them too much, but revived after treating with fungicide. If your Muhly's don't green up pretty soon, they probably died.

Thanks for the input -- I fear these are done for. It's a hard grass to find in our area for some reason. Guess I'll search around or mail order some starts. Thanks again.

Hi Pez, no need to apologize. I'm just sorry its not working out. Normally, by now, I see plenty of new growth. Let's just keep our fingers crossed that you will see some signs of life soon. Please let me know how things go.

Thanks Derek. I suppose we might have done better to follow the old rule of digging/dividing warm season growers when the growing starts. Wet cools spring here until the last couple of weeks. I'm keeping my fingers crossed but alas, I see no signs of growth in these divisions. If something shows in the next week or so I'll be sure to let you know.

I'm sorry for the loss of your dog. I just found this forum today so haven't read any of your previous posts so I don't know what grasses you already have, but I do have several grasses that need dividing that I would be happy to share.

I do not have the Muhly, actually haven't heard of it.

Thanks for the words. Pink Muhly Grass -- very heat tolerant and late blooming with a fine spray of pink-tinged fine flowers.

I have scads of grasses and am getting ready to sell some. I have still more to divide! Tough work!
