About this plant
Little Bunny Fountain Grass is a delightful miniature fountain grass, cherished for its compact, mounding habit and soft, bottlebrush-like plumes. From late summer through fall, fluffy, silvery-pink inflorescences emerge, gracefully arching above the fine, emerald-green foliage. This sterile cultivar ensures no unwanted self-seeding, making it a well-behaved addition to borders, rock gardens, containers, or mass plantings. Its diminutive size makes it perfect for small spaces, urban balconies, or as a charming edging plant, offering year-round visual appeal and a tranquil, airy aesthetic.
Care & maintenance
Little Bunny Fountain Grass is remarkably low-maintenance. Cut back foliage to a few inches above the ground in late winter or early spring before new growth emerges. No significant pest or disease issues make it an easy-care choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
