Greater Quaking Grass Ornamental Grass Seed
The largest and tallest type of quaking grass.
1/2–1" long seedheads turn from light green to a beautiful, golden straw color when dried or left on the plants. Stems of these nodding, dancing beauties are a must-have for adding bits of sparkle and detail to design work. Productive plants produce abundant 12–20" long stems useful for fresh or dried cut flowers. The thin stems of this clump-forming grass are best suited for design work and not recommended for when something sturdy is needed. Beautiful addition to containers or garden beds. Might self-sow if seedheads are left on the plants. Tolerant to dry growing conditions once established. Also commonly known as big quaking grass, rattlesnake grass, and large quaking grass.Specs:
