Little Bunny Grass

Little Bunny Grass

If ornamental grasses had a kindergarten class, Little Bunny Grass would be the cute kid that everyone wants to adopt. This pint-sized fountain grass delivers all the elegance and movement of its larger relatives in an absolutely irresistible compact form that makes you want to reach out and pet it. It's basically the Baby Yoda of the plant world – small, charming, and guaranteed to make people go "aww."


Growing to a modest 12 inches tall, Little Bunny produces the kind of fluffy, cream-colored seed heads that look exactly like tiny rabbit tails – hence the name that makes perfect sense the moment you see it. These adorable plumes appear in late summer and dance in the slightest breeze, creating a hypnotic display that's part garden feature, part natural entertainment center.


What makes Little Bunny Grass truly special is its ability to add texture and movement without overwhelming anything around it. While other ornamental grasses can get dramatic and take over, this little charmer plays well with others, creating soft edges and gentle transitions between different garden elements. It's like having a natural peacekeeper in your landscape crew.


The grass turns a lovely tan color in fall and holds its structure through winter, providing months of interest even when everything else has checked out for the season. You'll spot these delightful clumps adding texture and whimsy to our median plantings, proving that sometimes the smallest performers steal the biggest hearts.
