Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’


Miniature Fountain Grass

USDA Zone: 6-9

Plant number: 8.300.120


Fountain Grass is one of the most popular grasses. This dwarf selection forms a low tufted mound of green leaves, bearing creamy-beige bottlebrush spikes of flowers that turn to buff or tan as they dry. Most effective as en edging or rock garden plant, also nice in containers. Plants usually remain attractive well into the winter, the leaves turning bright golden-yellow in the fall. Clumps may be easily divided in spring. Old foliage should be cut to the ground in March. Drought tolerant once established. Deadhead in fall to prevent self-sown seedlings, which are usually taller and often grow right inside of the mother plant.
