Lagurus (bunny tail grass)
Lagurus ovatus · aka bunny tail, hare's tail, hare tail grass
Lagurus — the bunny tail grass — is the boho wedding designer's shortcut to instant texture and softness. Native Mediterranean grasslands but grown commercially worldwide, its fluffy tufted heads dry in place with no colour or shape loss. Available natural cream, dyed pastels, or (as in the academy library) dyed a saturated red for autumn palette work. One of the most affordable filler options per stem across all seasons.
