Quaking grass is cultivated for its rattlesnake like seedheads which look like small heart shaped flowers. The many shaking panicles are borne about compact 6-8 inch tufts of dark green foliage. The flower heads change in color from green to buff and are collectable for dried arrangement.

Note: If desiring a 2 - 3 foot clump, use 100 seeds in a 2 foot diameter area when planting.
