Its distinctive, heart-shaped spikelets dangle from delicate arching stems and tremble and shimmer at the slightest breeze — hence the name. Whether swaying in the garden border, nodding in a wildflower meadow, or dried and arranged in a vase, Quaking Grass brings an effortless, airy grace that few other plants can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhy Gardeners Love It\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌾 \u003cstrong\u003eUnique dangling spikelets\u003c\/strong\u003e — heart-shaped and papery, trembling beautifully in even the lightest breeze\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e✂️ \u003cstrong\u003eSuperb cut and dried grass\u003c\/strong\u003e — harvest before fully ripe for fresh arrangements, or dry naturally for long-lasting displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌿 \u003cstrong\u003eWonderful filler plant\u003c\/strong\u003e — adds movement and texture between flowering plants in borders and cottage beds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌱 \u003cstrong\u003eFast and easy from seed\u003c\/strong\u003e — direct sow and establish quickly; self-seeds gently for repeat displays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e🌺 \u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for wildflower and meadow gardens\u003c\/strong\u003e — naturalises beautifully in informal plantings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGrowing Tips for New Zealand\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eSow directly into a sunny position with well-drained soil in autumn or early spring. Quaking Grass prefers a lean soil — avoid over-fertilising, which encourages leafy growth at the expense of those beautiful spikelets. Thin seedlings to 20–25 cm apart. It grows to around 50–70 cm tall and is at its most spectacular in late spring and early summer when the spikelets are fully formed. Harvest stems for drying just as the spikelets begin to open for the best results. Grows well throughout NZ in any sunny, reasonably drained spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's in the Packet\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach packet contains \u003cstrong\u003e15 seeds\u003c\/strong\u003e of Quaking Grass (\u003cem\u003eBriza maxima\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Chbotanics Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45028730306629,"sku":null,"price":4.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/2974\/5733\/files\/image_7e23e926-1f63-4bc3-b0f5-a19f860d83bb.png?v=1781112344","url":"https:\/\/chbotanics.co.nz\/products\/quaking-grass-seeds","provider":"Chbotanics Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
