Frequently Asked Questions
Discover helpful information about growing, harvesting, and using Mixed Rabbit Tail Grass.
When should you harvest Rabbit Tail Grass for dried flower arrangements?
Harvest Rabbit Tail Grass when its fluffy flower heads are fully developed but still pale green to cream-colored. Cut the stems before the heads become completely mature and begin shedding seeds. Hang them upside down in small bunches in a dry, well-ventilated area until completely dry.
How long does Lagurus ovatus take to grow from seed to flowering?
Lagurus ovatus generally germinates within 10–14 days at 65–70°F. Under suitable growing conditions, plants can produce decorative flower heads in approximately 12–16 weeks, depending on planting time, sunlight, and climate.
Can Rabbit Tail Grass reseed itself and grow again the following year?
Yes. Rabbit Tail Grass can self-seed when mature flower heads are left on the plants and seeds fall onto suitable soil. Although it is an annual grass, new seedlings may appear the following growing season in favorable conditions. Remove unwanted seed heads if you want to limit self-seeding.
