Tinkerbell Quaking Ornamental Grasses (Briza Media Tinkerbell)

Tinkerbell Quaking Ornamental Grasses Description

Tinkerbell Quaking Grass is a delightful, compact ornamental grass, cherished for its elegant, heart shaped seed heads that tremble in the slightest breeze. With a slightly smaller form than the typical Briza media, Tinkerbell fits perfectly in borders, rock gardens, or containers, bringing gentle movement and a soft, airy texture to the garden. The plant has fine green foliage and nodding seed heads that create a naturalistic effect that enhances both traditional and modern designs. Its subtle presence adds interest without overwhelming, making it an ideal addition to smaller spaces or the front of a border.

Pruning Advice

Tinkerbell Quaking Grass requires minimal pruning, but a light trim will help keep it tidy and promote fresh growth.

Cut back any dead or faded foliage in early spring before new growth begins. This allows for a cleaner appearance and encourages the fresh foliage to emerge.

During the autumn or winter, you may choose to leave the seed heads intact as they provide winter interest and seed for birds, particularly in frost covered gardens.

Every few years, divide the plant in early spring if it becomes too crowded or if you wish to propagate new plants. Division will encourage more vigorous growth and help maintain the compact shape.
