Deciduous in colder temperatures or during hot spells, it regrows in spring, producing beautiful, compact mounds that can be found among boulders, rocky slopes, and cliffs thus making it ideal for a rock garden.
Bush muhly provides valuable nesting material for birds and helps combat soil erosion with its root-system. It is great ground-cover protection and shelter for small wildlife.
