Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Little Bunny' (20)ct Flat Common Name: Grass-Ornamental, Miniature Fountain Grass
Zone 5 to 9, Full sun
Plants reach 6 to 12 inches tall and 12 to 15 inches wide.
A truly miniature fountain grass, 'Little Bunny' stands only 18 inches tall when in bloom. Cute cream-colored, tufted seed heads look like a bunch of little bunnies' tails dancing above the dense clump of dark green foliage. The blooms begin to appear in midsummer.
Pennisetum prefers to be grown in rich loamy soil with good drainage and full sun or light shade. Due to its small size, this variety is particularly well-suited to sunny rock gardens. However, in rocky or sandy soil make sure it remains fairly moist. This grass resents having "wet feet". This species may be propagated by seed or division. It originated as a seedling of P. 'Hameln'.
