I think sometimes grasses are planted as an easy landscape “fix” when in reality — like you said — they can be rather labor intensive. Even our smaller ornamental grasses require upkeep every Spring, and eventually may need to be divided. I’m glad we removed our giant grasses — those were way too crazy for us!

Thank you. I hope I will find them!

Yes Irene, the shortest ornamental grasses we have are called “Little Bunny, Pennisetum alopecuroides.” I’ll add this information to this post. When shopping for Little Bunny grasses pay attention to the plant tag info — or if shopping online pay attention to the description. Here’s why: I’ve seen a few places online state these grasses can be 2 feet or more high. If that’s what they say, then they are selling something different than true Little Bunny grasses. Little Bunny grasses grow between 8 and 12 inches tall and wide at the most. They are adorable and truly maintenance free, other than an annual pruning. Hope this helps!
