Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Burgundy Bunny’ is a dwarf fountain grass known for its tidy, rounded habit and vibrant burgundy highlights that develop as the weather cools. It grows just 12 to 18 inches tall and wide, producing soft, fluffy bottlebrush plumes in late summer. In fall, the foliage turns a rich red to burgundy, creating bold contrast in small spaces. This grass is heat-tolerant, low maintenance, and ideal for edging, patio pots, or adding color to mixed beds.
