It grows in moist habitat, such as streambanks and ditches, in the chaparral and woodlands.

Muhlenbergia californica is a rhizomatous perennial grass growing 30 to 70 centimeters tall. The inflorescence is a narrow array of thin branches bearing many tiny pointed or awned hairy spikelets each a few millimeters long.
