Description

Briza media 'Quaking Grass' (Quaking Grass, Pearl Grass, tottergrass). An easy, dependable, all purpose perennial grass that can be used as single specimen or as a beautiful unusual foreground plant. Briza forms a dense clump & bears small heart-shaped florets that emerge an iridescent green from April thru June. The flowers turn golden with maturity where they look like little fairy lanterns or the end of rattlesnake tails. The intriguing flower can be added to fresh or dried flower arrangements. If sheared lightly in late summer when blooms start to fall, a nice new flush of growth will keep the plants looking fresh through early winter.
