Description
Cenchrus alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’, commonly known as Little Bunny Fountain Grass, is a compact and graceful ornamental grass prized for its dense, tufted form and soft, arching foliage that adds texture and movement to garden landscapes. Originating from the species Pennisetum alopecuroides, native to East Asia, this cultivar is renowned for its smaller stature, typically reaching 1 to 2 feet in height, making it ideal for borders, containers, and mass plantings. The plant produces attractive, fluffy, cream-colored flower spikes in late summer to fall, which age to a warm tan, providing extended seasonal interest. Its drought tolerance, adaptability to various soil types, and moderate maintenance requirements make it a favorite among gardeners seeking low-maintenance yet visually appealing grasses. ‘Little Bunny’ has been appreciated for its ornamental value and versatility in landscape design, embodying the elegant yet understated charm characteristic of fountain grasses.
