This grass dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
- Position: full sun
- Soil: any well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: fast-growing
- Flowering period: May to August
- Hardiness: fully hardy
A tufted evergreen grass with purplish-tinted, green leaves. In summer locket-shaped, green-purple flowers, which fade to buff, hang from wiry branches. Lovely in wildflower meadows, their flowers are excellent for drying. - Garden care: Cut down to the ground in late winter before the new foliage appears.

Notes on Briza media
"Ideal in containers, but as happy studding a hot, dry, sunny border, planted with traditional herbaceous plants (look terrific with Hemerocallis); handy in large swathes as ground cover; super for growing on difficult dry banks or rock and gravel gardens, and naturalises well"

A beautiful and easy plant

Totally recommended. A trouble free plant that is showing healthy signs of new spring growth. The seedheads are elegant and very beautiful - both in the garden and dried - I still have some in a winter 'flower' arrangement. Last summer was so hot some grasses and other plants didn't flower or only very late, but this was totally obliging.

I bought this plant as it fits in with the style I am trying to achieve. As it is young it has yet to flower, but I am hopeful it will do so this year. I am always very happy with the quality of your plants. Your 1 litre is just that, not a 9cm pot potted on before sending, so half the soil ends up in the packing.

Wonderful in a container of mixed border. Delicate soft grass with oat coloured see heads that dance in the breeze. Long season of interest. A real delight.
