Quaking Grass

Briza maxima, commonly known as Quaking Grass, is an ornamental grass prized for its distinctive trembling flower panicles that dance gracefully in the slightest breeze. The delicate, bouncing blooms appear mid-summer on flexible stems reaching 20 inches tall, creating movement and visual interest in any garden. This cool-season annual thrives in full sun to partial shade and adapts well to containers, raised beds, and xeriscaping projects. It prefers well-drained, moderately fertile soil and requires minimal maintenance once established. Quaking Grass is drought-tolerant, stress-resistant, and non-competitive, making it ideal for gardeners seeking low-maintenance ornamental grasses. Though slow-growing and clump-forming, it rewards patience with years of effortless beauty.
