Description

Muhlenbergia schreberi, or Nimblewill, is a warm-season perennial grass that is highly adaptable and resilient. It grows 1 to 2 feet tall and thrives in a variety of environments, from dry, sandy soils to moderately moist areas. This grass is especially suited for low-maintenance landscapes due to its tolerance for drought and shade, often flourishing in woodland edges or under trees.

Nimblewill spreads by stolons, forming dense mats that help prevent soil erosion, making it a valuable asset for soil stabilization. Its adaptability and ability to thrive in full sun have made it an excellent candidate for use in solar farms, where it provides ground cover, reduces dust, and supports small wildlife. Nimblewill’s low maintenance needs and resilience make it ideal for large-scale plantings in these settings.

Propagation is easy, and seed germination does not require cold stratification. While not used for medicinal purposes, Muhlenbergia schreberi is highly valued in conservation efforts for erosion control and as a durable ground cover in restoration projects or solar farms.
