Key information
Quaking Grass, also known as Briza media, has distinctive nodding seed heads which resemble tiny hanging hearts or raindrops. This ornamental grass adds texture and movement to borders.
Soto love this graceful grass for the soft movement and mirror-like quality of the seedheads. This plant has soft purple tinted leaves which fade to buff over the summer. This grass will self-sow or you can collect the seed before it disperses to use the following year.
