Description

Little Bunny Dwarf Fountain Grass is one of the smallest selections of fountain grass, valued for its compact, vase-shaped habit and charming, fluffy flower plumes. Slender green leaves form neat, dense clumps, while soft buff-white, bottlebrush-like flowerheads emerge above the foliage from late summer into fall. As temperatures cool, the leaves develop warm golden-brown tones, adding seasonal interest. Reaching just 12–18 inches tall and wide, this miniature ornamental grass is ideal for sunny border edges, rock gardens, small planting spaces, and outdoor containers. It tolerates poor soils and becomes drought tolerant once established, although moderate to regular watering supports healthy growth. Its petite size makes it especially useful where larger fountain grasses would overwhelm the landscape.
