Quaking Grass
Lesser quaking grass, as it is commonly known, is a neat ornamental grass, grown for its inflated flowerheads hanging from thread like stems. Perfect for the edge of a border, or a meadow-themed garden. This versatile grass also grows well in gravel gardens and in pots. It offers movement and contrast in a border.

Best sown in-situ, from April to May, or Aug-September for germination the following spring. Sow in rows 6mm deep in soil which has been well cultivated and raked to a fine tilth. Once seedlings are large enough to handle, thin to 25cm between plants.
Aftercare
Can be cut to ground level in autumn or early spring for fresh growth in mid-spring.
