They are a fun plant (grass), they animate the garden with movement.
To my knowledge they are considered annuals here in NY and are relatively inexpensive.

I have successfully winter sowed this plant. For me, success has been better when I plant the entire seed head, the whole 'bunnytail', rather than picking it apart. Or just sow the seed wherever you wish to have it in the garden. Drought tolerant, and easy to grow. The rabbits/deer here do not seem to like it. Nice fall color, a golden straw tone. Have not had a problem with it self sowing.

Bunny Tails are a fun plant to grow. I use them to fill in empty spots around the yard, also good for containers and borders. Non-invasive, has yet to re-seed itself. I usually start new plants from seed, the seed I have is over seven years old, and it still germinates sucessfully without additional steps. Throw some seed in a pot, water and forget it. The 'tails' emerge from transplant in about 4 weeks, sometimes faster, depending on growing conditions. I can get two seperate plantings a year, just as soon as the first bunch gets planted, start more seed for the second bunch. I think this year, I'll save some new seed.
