Lesser quaking grass
Briza minor
Lesser quaking grass is a charming ornamental annual grass with delicate, dangling seed heads that tremble in the slightest breeze, making it a lovely addition to borders, meadows, or dried flower arrangements. It prefers well-drained soil and tolerates partial shade, though it produces its best display in a sunny or lightly shaded spot. Minimal watering and feeding are needed once established, making it ideal for low-maintenance gardens.
