Lagurus Ovatus Ornamental Grass

Lagurus Ovatus Bunny Tails

Lagurus Ovatus (Bunny Tails) - This is one of those ornamental grasses that you grow first on a whim, then as an integral part of your garden! It's just that irresistible (and easy). And for an annual, it manages to give 12 months or more of beauty when you use its lovely bunny tails as Everlastings!

The plant itself is neat and compact, just 12 to 24 inches high and about a foot wide. Beginning in early summer, it's topped by chartreuse puffballs, about 2½ inches wide, that really do look like Peter Cottontail rummaging around in your grass for a dropped Easter egg!

As summer turns to fall, the bunny tails turn to rich tan and dry out beautifully on the plant. You can leave them there -- they make spectacular winter accents, lasting until they catch the first heavy snowfall (or all season in mild climates). Or you can cut them and use them in dried arrangements, where they will last for MONTHS, refusing to shatter the way some textured grasses do after drying.

Bunny Tails ornamental grass is a pleasure to grow, too, because it favors sandy soils that many other plants shun, and once it gets its roots established, it's quite drought-tolerant. Give it plenty of sunshine, water throughout the growing season, and watch it fill your garden with bobbing, fluffy blooms! And of course it makes a fine complement to just about any flowering plant in containers, where you can pat the bunny all you want!

LazyMan Liquid Gold LazyMan Liquid Gold - LazyMan Liquid Gold lawn aerator, dethatcher and soil conditioner is a 3-in-1 easy apply spray-on liquid application to aerate, dethatch, and condition your turf and soil. The aeration portion of LazyMan Liquid Gold is uniquely formulated to reduce crusting, loosen up hard clay soils, aggregate sandy soil, and allow water and oxygen to better reach plant roots by reducing the surface tension between the water and the soil. While this aerator is loosening the soil, the microbial dethatcher breaks down thatch in to organic matter and beneficial soil microorganisms, kelp extracts and potassium humate help to enrich the soil.
