Certified ExpertA.This will not kill it. It can survive down to zone 5. It may destroy the growth now, but when it warms up it will come back just fine. Don't cut it back until the weather warms back up.

46208Q.Pink Muhly Grass
My pink Muhly Grass was planted and grew and spread perfectly. No blooms expected the 1st year. I cut back to 3-4 inches early Spring. It is June 1. No new growth. Are they dead? Late growth or? Watering? Thank you!

May 29, 2018A.Warm season grasses grow at their own rates and some start later then others. Sun, available moisture are all factors.
Try tugging at the roots; is it firmly rooted or pulls up (which can be root rot).
If it's well rooted, leave it in place for awhile yet.Sometimes greenhouse-grown grasses flourish in the season they are planted, but fail to make it through their first winter even though they are rated as hardy.
I lost all but one grass clump this year myself.
Make sure you are in the appropriate zone for Muhly grass. Zone 6-9

June 8, 2018A.Unfortunately I have had many reports of Pink Muhly grass not surviving last winter. Many gardeners reporting well established plants not coming back.
If you have no signs of new growth, these is nothing that can bring the grass back.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/ornamental/foliage/muhly-grass/growing-muhly-grass.htm

Certified ExpertA.Can you include photos? It sounds like a fungal infection, but it would be hard to be completely certain without seeing it.
Watering will be the number one culprit with this issue. Also, this issue will usually resolve itself after cases of cold or hot weather. You can help this along by spraying any areas with a mix of peroxide and water. You should mix this at 1 part peroxide to 3 parts water.
