Like paper lanterns strung along a line, the pendulous, hop-like heads of quaking grass quiver and tremble in the wind. Usually seen in meadows and grasslands, it can also be found growing in unlikely urban wayside spots as it can grow in hard conditions and times of stress that would wither other grasses.
‘Toddling Grass’ and ‘Dithery Dock’ are two of the country names for this grass due to its trembling habit. The seeds from the woven heart shaped spikelets serve as food for a range of birds such as the Sparrow, Greenfinch, Linnet and Yellowhammer.
