Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’ is the smallest of the fountain grasses, forming neat, rounded clumps just 12 to 18 inches tall and wide. Its fine green blades are topped with fluffy, cream-to-tan flower spikes in late summer that add soft movement and texture. This dwarf variety is ideal for edging, rock gardens, patio pots, or tucking into tight spaces. It thrives in full sun, is drought tolerant once established, and requires very little maintenance to stay looking neat and tidy.
