Russels Quaking Grass is a clump-forming grass boasting mid-green leaves with creamy-white margins. In the summer the slender upright stems sway in the breeze with panicles of loosely arranged pale green to white flowers. They age to a rich golden brown. Growing about 3 feet tall this low maintenance grass is ideal as a border, in your garden beds, or in wildflower gardens. Enjoy in your cut flower bouquets both fresh and dried. Briza media 'Russells' is hardy to zone 5a.
