Grasses

• Ornamental and native grasses come in a wide range of foliage and sizes. For colorful grass borders, plant Bunny Tails with companion grasses such as Blue Oat Grass with its blue-green foliage and tan flowers or Ruby Grass with its green foliage that turns red in autumn. For an ornamental grass garden, use tall native grasses as focal plants with medium to short grasses around them. When native ground cover grasses such as buffalo grass replace turf, it takes a season or more for the rhizomes to spread into a grass mat. Scatter Bunny Tails seeds between the turf plugs for erosion control and eye appeal until the buffalo grass fills the yard.
  
  

Cutting Gardens

• Create a cutting flower garden with compatible flowering plants. Bunny Tails grass provides green and white contrast for cutting partners like asters, daisies and coreopsis. These summer-blooming flowers yield broad petal color while the grass flowers offer soft, light bouquet accents. Drought-tolerant plants such as coneflower and blanket flower fit into the cutting garden. Bunny Tails flowers dry into permanent flowers for foliage arrangements. Match them with cattails, pampas grass or quaking grass.
  
  

Sun Lovers

• Design a sun garden with annual grasses like Bunny Tails seeded among wildflowers. They have similar water needs and sun tolerance. Wildflowers like bluebonnets and bachelor buttons grow among the Bunny Tails mounds while the ground-hugging California poppies bloom early and re-seed among their buddy plants. The grass is a nice fit with more permanent flowers like gazanias and lavender in dry, sun-washed gardens.
  
  

Containers

• As Bunny Tails is a non-aggressive annual grass, it is easily seeded in containers with trailing lantana or miniature flowers. Use it as a central plant in an herbal container with thyme, basil or sage. Soft and smooth, the bunny-tail flowers blend in touchable plantings such as dill, lamb's ear or celosia. At the end of summer, leave the grass in the container. Its dry foliage and small plume flowers make a winter accent.
