Description
This plant is generally referred to as the quaking grasses because the flower spikelets and seedheads shake on their stalks in the slightest breeze. The loose heads of quaking-grass are a distinctive feature of meadows and grasslands, particularly those on chalky soils, and can resemble dead leaves to the untrained eye. Its small, heart-shaped flower heads dance on delicate stems from June to September, giving the plant many different common names, including ‘Totter Grass’, ‘Dithery Dock’, ‘Wigwams’ and ‘Toddling Grass’.
Grows well in poor soil types in dappled shade or full sun.
