Quick Guide

• Compact, dwarf variety

• Soft, fluffy flower spikes

• Thrives in full sun

• Low maintenance

• Ideal for borders and containers

Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’, commonly known as Dwarf Fountain Grass, is an attractive ornamental grass renowned for its compact size and charming appearance. This dwarf variety forms neat clumps of fine, arching green foliage that turns a beautiful golden-bronze in autumn. In late summer to early fall, ‘Little Bunny’ produces delightful, soft, fluffy flower spikes resembling small bunny tails, which sway gracefully in the breeze. Perfect for adding texture and movement to garden borders, rock gardens, and containers, this grass is a wonderful choice for small spaces or as an edging plant. Its striking form and easy-care nature make it ideal for both novice and experienced gardeners. Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’ is also drought-tolerant once established, making it suitable for low-water gardens.

Plant Care Guide

Pennisetum alopecuroides ‘Little Bunny’ thrives in full sun and prefers well-drained soil. It is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal watering once established, although regular watering during dry spells will enhance its appearance. In late winter or early spring, cut back the old foliage to make way for new growth. This grass is generally pest and disease resistant, making it a reliable choice for your garden.

Third-Party Couriers

For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.

Click & Collect

We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.

All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.

Returns Policy

If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.

Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.

Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
