A truly miniature fountain grass, 'Little Bunny' stands only 18" 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.
Due to its small size, this variety is particularly well-suited to sunny rock gardens, containers, or the front of the border. It originated as a seedling of 'Hameln'.
