Deciduous, Herbaceous Grass / Grass-Like, Groundcover
Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Burgundy Bunny' is a compact fountain grass that flowers late summer and into fall. Wonderful in a sunny spot; pepper them about as single spots of burgundy foliage and frothy bloom or use mass them as a groundcover. Either way, cute as a bunny!
