Deergrass, also known as Meadow Muhly and Deer Muhly, is a summer-growing, perennial bunchgrass that grows to 3 by 4 feet. It produces dense, tufted foliage with narrow leaves that reach to about 3 feet in length and range from silver-green to purple. It grows in full sun and moist soils, and is highly resistant to deer. This grass attracts birds and small mammals that feed on its seeds and use its foliage for nesting and denning.
