Quaking grass (Briza maxima), with its silvery green spikelets dancing
and rustling on slender 2 ft (60 cm) high stems, is deservedly the most
popular ornamental grass. The spiklets appear from late spring to
midsummer, forming upright tufts with their bright green narrow, pointed
leaves. Grow quaking grass in large clusters in borders with flowering
plants. When the flowering plants are well formed, the stems can be cut
and dried for indoor flower arrangements.
