Did you know
- Bunny tail grass gets its name from its soft, oval-shaped flower heads that closely resemble a rabbit's fluffy tail.
- The dried seed heads retain their shape and color for years, making them one of the most popular grasses for dried flower arrangements.
- Lagurus ovatus is the only species in its genus, making it a monotypic genus in the grass family.
- The soft flower heads can be dyed in virtually any color, making them a staple in modern floral crafts and home decor.
- This grass is so drought-tolerant that it thrives in coastal sand dunes where few other plants can survive.
