  • Overview

    Charming, annual ornamental grass grown for its fuzzy, "bunny tail" blooms. 1 1/2-2" long oval, woolly blooms resemble a rabbit's tail. Flowers sit well above a clump of compact, light green grass. Very easy to dry. Holds well when dried; accepts dye readily. Developing flower heads are light green, maturing creamy white to soft wheat in color. Also known as bunny tail grass and rabbit tail grass.
