#86 - Bunny Tails - A 'Cool Flower' Grass

Looking for a cute new addition to your spring cool flowers lineup? Do you love the look of 'Bunny Tails' blooms but struggle with stems that are too short to use? Today, Lisa and Layne discuss the newest plant to be designated as a cool flower (aka cool-season hardy annual) - 'Bunny Tails' grass (Lagurus ovatus). They describe the soft, cottontail-like blooms and compact plants and cover ways to use and sell the flowers, the experiments that led to its designation as a cool flower, differences in stem length based on planting time, and more. Listen to the podcast and learn about the newest (and cutest!) cool flower - 'Bunny Tails' grass! The video version of Lisa and Layne's conversation will be posted to The Gardener’s Workshop’s YouTube channel, where all “Seed Talk” episodes are organized into a ⁠⁠⁠⁠playlist⁠⁠⁠⁠.
