This fun, long-lived, easy-to-grow beauty deserves a little noise.

Briza media, often referred to as quaking grass, perfectly embodies the phrase "easy, breezy, beautiful." Its whimsical, heart-shaped flowers sway gracefully from spikes that rise a foot or more above the clump-forming foliage. These decorative flowers are so appealing that they are frequently used as fresh cut stems or in dried arrangements.

Fun and functional, Briza media is a cold-friendly, long-lived grass that thrives in USDA Zones 4-10. Mature plants typically reach just under 3 feet in height. Drought-tolerant once established, quaking grass grows well in both full sun and light shade, making it versatile for a wide range of placements. It requires minimal maintenance—just a light shearing in the fall to promote new growth, which remains attractive throughout the winter.
