Here’s a grass that’s as cute as a you-know-what. ‘Burgundy Bunny’(PP21917) rises a diminutive 18” tall when it stands on its hind legs – er, when it flowers. Neat clumps of slender green leaves take on rich red accents in summer. As the season progresses, the whole plant comes ablaze with deep maroon/red blades, topped with creamy-white bunny-tail blooms.

‘Burgundy Bunny’ is happiest in full sun to part shade, and is hardy in USDA Zones 6 – 9 (down to Zone 5 depending on surroundings).
