A sport of Little Bunny, Burgundy Bunny was selected for having narrow green leaves that are tipped in red beginning in early summer. By fall the compact and tidy clumps are completely red and give way to the small, tan-colored, bottle-brush seed heads. Great for patio containers or along the edge of the border. Be sure to site plants in well-drained soil, especially as plants don't like to have wet feet in winter!
