Hare's Tail Grass Ornamental Grass Seed

Item #HSC-GRS-006-PKT

Soft, fuzzy plumes for drying.

An easy annual grass grown for its woolly, oval "bunny tail" heads, 1½–2" long, held well above a compact clump of light green leaves. Heads start pale green and ripen to cream or soft wheat.

They dry easily, hold up well once dried and take dye readily. Also called bunny tail or rabbit tail grass. An heirloom.

Heads are ready about 90–110 days from sowing, on plants 12–24" tall. Open-pollinated.
