Fountain Grass 'Little Bunny' 3 Gallon

Pennisetum alopecuroides

Fountain Grass, also known as Pennisetum, is a family producing compact, dense, mounded varieties that are popular, reliable, and easily recognized by their cat-tail or bottle brush-like blooms that hover above finely-textured, arching foliage. They perform well in sunny containers, small spaces, and in groups or as specimens. 'Little Bunny' is the most petite of all fountain grasses and produces an abundance of fluffy, silvery-buff colored seed heads that hover over short tufts of green foliage that turns golden russet in the fall. Combine with Perovskia, black-eyed Susans and fall blooming Sedum. Plant in well-drained, average to poor soil. Water well after planting; maintain 1" of water, once a week the first year. Use slow release fertilizer in spring or at planting. Mulch 1-2" to suppress weeds and retain soil moisture. In general, cut ornamental grasses down as low as possible in late winter. Divide in spring when necessary.
