Whimsical, tactile, and effortlessly charming, Bunny Tails is a beloved annual ornamental grass known for its irresistibly soft flower heads that resemble fuzzy rabbit tails. Emerging pale green in early to mid-summer, the airy plumes gradually mature into warm, golden-buff pom-poms that sway gracefully in the summer breeze. A natural favorite for children’s sensory gardens, borders, and patio containers, Bunny Tails thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Cut them fresh to add playful texture to summer bouquets, or harvest and hang them to dry, where they will hold their shape and fluffy texture for months in everlasting floral arrangements.

Planting and Care

Direct Sowing: Sow outdoors after the last spring frost. Press seeds lightly into finely raked soil, covering with only 1/8 inch (3 mm) of soil as light aids germination. Keep evenly moist until sprouted, typically within 10–14 days.

Indoor Sowing: For earlier blooms, start indoors 6–8 weeks before your last expected spring frost in cell trays or biodegradable plugs to minimize root disturbance during transplanting.

Drying for Crafts: Harvest stems when heads are fully formed and puffy, before seeds begin to drop. Tie into small bundles and hang upside down in a warm, dry, dark location with good airflow for 2–3 weeks.
