Pennisetum alopecuroides 'Burgundy Bunny'

Burgundy Bunny Fountain Grass is the most colourful dwarf fountain grass available, summer foliage that starts bright green gradually turns almost entirely red by fall, producing a seasonal transformation unique among compact ornamental grasses.

  • Slender flower stalks rise slightly above the foliage with buff-tan seed heads
  • Dense mounding clump stays compact and tidy at under 40 cm, appropriate for the front of borders or containers
  • Fall colour and dried flower heads provide winter interest
