Pennisetum Little Bunny (Dwarf Fountain Grass)

A charming dwarf variety of Fountain Grass, Litttle Bunny quickly forms a small hummock of green foliage topped by large numbers of small, buff coloured fuzzy flowerheads from mid to late Summer, they move and sway in the breeze. They look rather like small rabbit tails from where the name comes.

These useful little plants are perfect in groups as tactile ground cover, use them in a prarie planting scheme or in containers and they also fit perfectly in the front of any sunny flower bed, whether you choose to mix them with other grasses, or flowering perennials they will look great.
