Lagurus ovatus ‘Bunny Tails’ is a really lovely annual grass that produces ovate, soft, fluffy, panicles which look very pretty on the plant, and last indefinitely as a cut flower. The stems dry so well and so easily, requiring no special care – simply cut a few stems and place them in an empty vase. Lagurus ovatus ‘Bunny Tails’ suits modern, urban, cottage, and country gardens, complimenting both formal and more relaxed plantings.
I have found that Lagurus ovatus ‘Bunny Tails’ really flourishes in sandy, free draining soil. This grass is very drought tolerant, it is a really super choice of grass to grow in containers, the panicles look good when used as a cut flower, or in flower arrangements.
Lagurus ovatus ‘Bunny Tails’ is hardy to around -10C (14F).
