Bunny Tails - Lagurus Ovatus

Possibly the most touchable plant you can grow. Bunny Tails produces whimsical, velvety oval seed heads that feel exactly like the fluffy tail of a rabbit — sitting atop slender, elegant straw-like stems that bob and dance gracefully in the slightest breeze, adding movement, texture, and an irresistible tactile quality to the garden.

An RHS Award of Garden Merit variety, ultra-hardy (H4), and one of the most popular plants in sensory gardens and children’s gardens. Outstanding for cutting fresh and drying — the heads hold their soft, velvety texture beautifully.
