Ornamental Grass 'Greater Quaking Grass'
Briza maxima
PLEASE NOTE: This was missing from our original delivery (no biggy, it happens). We have another shipment coming, and we'll ship as soon as they get here (should be one-week delay on orders with this item). I specifically wanted this particular variety versus what was immediately available, but I did not want to delay this launch any longer :) Thanks for your understanding.
This particular variety is the largest and tallest in the quaking grass family. Its graceful, nodding seed heads have stunning detail and create a lot of movement in floral designs. The delicate bracts add texture and visual interest, whether used fresh or dried. Perfect for creating light, airy designs or as an accent in both wildflower and garden-style bouquets.
NOTE: This was missing from shipment, but more are on their way. Orders with this item will ship next week.
Packet contains approximately 100 seeds.
