Pennisetum alopecuroides 'little bunny'
'Pennisetum alopecuroides Little Bunny' is a charming dwarf fountain grass renowned for its compact size and delicate appearance. Growing to a height of around 12 inches with a similar spread, this ornamental grass is perfect for smaller spaces, borders, and containers. Its narrow, arching green leaves form neat, dense mounds, providing a fine-textured backdrop for the garden. In late summer to early fall, 'Little Bunny' produces fluffy, bottlebrush-like flower spikes that emerge creamy-white and gradually turn buff-colored as they mature, adding a touch of whimsy to the landscape. These charming blooms persist well into autumn and can be left standing for winter interest or cut for dried arrangements. 'Little Bunny' prefers well-drained soil and full sun to part shade and is drought tolerant once established
