One of the smallest fountain grasses available, this little cutie comes in at just 12-18" tall, its bunny-like buff colored blooms look terrific in rock gardens, borders and foundations; foliage is a pretty gold in fall and adds winter interest to the garden. S/M

A very fine little grass that forms a small mound less than a foot tall. It has pinkish white plumes. The seeds from the mature plumes attract birds. The plumes also make a lovely addition to any dried floral arrangement. Growth Rate slow

Almost the tiniest version of fountain grass to only 18". This 'Little Bunny' is a wonderful addition to any garden. Soft creamy, foxtail blooms wave over very low mounds of deep, dark green foliage. Especially nice for adding later summer beauty to often fading border.
