Fountain Grass 'Burgundy Bunny', Foxtail Grass 'Burgundy Bunny', Chinese Fountain Grass 'Burgundy Bunny'
Perfect for small gardens, Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Burgundy Bunny’ (Fountain Grass) is a miniature perennial grass forming a dense clump of gracefully arching linear leaves. Bright green in summer, they turn red as the season progresses, becoming completely blazing red in the fall. The showy foliage usually remains attractive until frost. In mid to late summer, showy silvery-white flower spikes resembling small foxtails are produced above the leaves. They arch outward from the foliage clump and are particularly dramatic when backlit. They make excellent cut flowers for fresh and dried arrangements. Requiring very little care and providing almost nonstop drama in the garden, this compact warm season grass is excellent in containers or the front of the border.
