Good plant #81 - Briza Maxima


Most people are trying get annual grass out of their borders. This is one that's worth having in it. It has such a beautiful seed head and compliments flowers perfectly. I grew this through a Jasione Laevis 'Blue Light' one year and together they looked stunning in flower and as they both faded.

This plant likes a well-drained soil and a sunny site but will cope with some shade.

Collect and store the seed heads to sow the following year. It will self seed too.
