'Little Bunny' dwarf fountain grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Little Bunny') is a compact, mounding, deciduous ornamental grass growing 12–18 inches tall and wide. Known for its tiny, bunny-tail-like cream plumes, it is ideal for small gardens, rockeries, containers, and borders. It thrives in full sun, requires well-drained soil, is drought-tolerant, and resists deer. 

Key Features and Care:

  • Appearance: Forms a dense, clumping mound of fine-textured, green foliage, which turns golden-yellow or russet in the fall.
  • Flowers: Produces fluffy, cream-colored, foxtail-like plumes from mid-to-late summer through fall.
  • Size: One of the smallest fountain grasses, typically reaching 12–20 inches in height.
  • Light: Prefers full sun (6+ hours) for best flower production, but can tolerate some light shade.
  • Soil & Water: Thrives in average, well-drained soil; very drought-tolerant once established but prefers moderate, regular watering.
  • Maintenance: Cut back to 3–4 inches in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
  • Zones: Hardy in USDA Zones 5-9.
