Experience the charm of Bunny Tails, an annual ornamental grass prized for its unique fuzzy blooms that resemble a rabbit's tail. Its compact, light green grass provides a stunning backdrop for the delicate 1 1/2–2" long oval flowers that sit gracefully above. Not only is it easy to dry, but the blooms also hold their shape and readily absorb dye, making it a versatile and beautiful addition to any arrangement - fresh or dried. The light green buds mature into a creamy white or soft wheat hue.
