Great quaking grass is a charming ornamental annual grass grown for its large, pendulous, heart-shaped spikelets that tremble in the slightest breeze and dry beautifully for floral arrangements. Plant in a sunny spot with well-drained soil and water moderately, as it prefers drier conditions once established. It self-seeds readily, returning year after year in the garden with little effort required.
