Frequently asked questions
Pennisetum Alopecuroides 'Little Bunny'
Will Little Bunny become as tall as giant grasses?
It is selected for a compact habit, though actual size varies with conditions. Leave room for the fountain-like spread.
Can I trim the tips into a flat hedge all season?
Repeated clipping spoils the arching form and flower spikes. Remove old growth selectively and allow new leaves to arch.
Can I keep it narrow by tying all the leaves?
Allow the natural arching habit; tying a tight bundle traps moisture and spoils the display.
Should I cut green blades to one flat height?
Avoid indiscriminate clipping. Remove dead material and use pruning suitable for the actual species.
