Little Bunny Dwarf Fountain Grass (Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’) is a compact, mounding ornamental grass prized for its soft, buff‑colored flower spikes that appear from late summer into fall. Reaching just 10–12 inches tall and wide, it adds refined texture to small gardens, edging, and container designs, while its green blades develop warm golden russet tones in autumn. Thriving in full sun and well‑drained soils, this easy, waterwise selection brings four‑season interest with minimal maintenance.
