Lagurus obovatus
aka: Hare's Tail Grass, Rabbit's Tail Grass, Turk's Head Grass, Bunnies' Tails

I thought it was an annual, I grew it from seed.  It's very easy. I came across this on it:
"Lagurus ovatus, a cute annual grass with fluffy flowers that's easily
grown from seed, isn't even mentioned in two major grass encyclopedias."


Park Seed sells it:

Since hers is perennial, it's possible we aren't talking about the same
grass. Or maybe her red species is perennial, compared to my annual one.
