More about this plant

Little Bunny is a dwarf Chinese fountain grass that grows 12 to 18 inches tall, with arching linear leaves and bottlebrush flower spikes from midsummer into fall that age from green toward golden brown. It prefers full sun in dry to moist, well-drained soil, tolerates part shade with fewer flowers, and is drought tolerant once established and highly resistant to deer. NCSU notes it can self-seed aggressively. Cut the foliage to the ground in late winter.
