Product Description

Bunny Tail grass seeds (Lagurus ovatus) are a striking choice for adding some unique foliage to your garden. This delightful dwarf ornamental grass forms neat mounds of foliage topped with fluffy, tail-like flower heads. The soft, silvery-white plumes look like bunny tails, which is where the name comes from. These hardy annual flower seeds are perfect for borders, rock gardens, and containers, giving movement and texture to any planting scheme.

Bunny Tail ornamental grass is easy to grow and maintain, thriving in partial shade and well-drained soil. It looks fantastic as a backdrop to a big garden but can thrive in small spaces too as a centrepiece - or even in a container. It's also drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance and resilient choice for busy gardeners. Water regularly until the plants are established, then enjoy the charming, fluffy plumes as they sway gently in the breeze.

Sow & Grow

Sow outdoors, March-May or August-October, where they are to flower, 0.5cm (¼") deep, directly into finely-prepared, well-drained soil, which has already been watered. Seedlings usually appear in 14-28 days. Thin seedlings to 15cm (6") apart. Water well until plants are established. For a continuous display, make sowings at two to three-week intervals. Sowings made in curves, rather than straight lines, often create a more pleasing effect. Late summer and autumn sowings will flower the following year, often earlier than spring sowings. Flowers: June-September.

FAQs

When do you cut back bunny tail grass?

Bunny tail grass (Lagurus ovatus) is an annual and doesn’t require cutting back in the traditional sense. For decorative use, cut the stems when the plumes are fully developed and before they start to shed. Leaving the dry seed heads, however, can provide winter interest in your garden and are popular amongst gardeners for this reason.

Can you dye bunny tail grass?

Once cut, dried bunny tail grass can be dyed any colour you like to match an interior colour scheme. Dry the plumes completely before immersing them in fabric or floral dye.

What are the other names for bunny tail grass?

Bunny tail grass is also known as hare's tail grass or hare’s tail lagurus in the UK. These names refer to its soft, fluffy seed heads that look like bunny tails. The botanical name Lagurus ovatus combines the Latin for "hare" (lagos) and "tail" (urus), too.
