Bunny tails

Lagurus ovatus

 

Soft, furry plumes are perfect for drying.

Charming, annual ornamental grass grown for its fuzzy, "bunny tail" blooms. 1 1/2–2" long oval, woolly blooms resemble a rabbit's tail. Flowers sit well above a clump of compact, light green grass. Very easy to dry. Holds well when dried; accepts dye readily. Developing flower heads are light green, maturing creamy white to soft wheat in color. Also known as bunny tail grass and rabbit tail grass.

Excellent fresh cut flower or crafts ( wreath). May be dried.
