Grass - Bunny Tails

Lagurus ovatus
This cutie pie has a bevy of soft, fuzzy flower heads that become luminous when they catch the sun, highlighting their irresistible soft plumes. It adds welcome texture to flower beds and edges in lower fertility, well-drained, even sandy soils. A neat and compact grower, it stars in cut flower bouquets.
