How to Grow Ornamental Grass Briza Maxima from Seed

To grow Briza maxima, or ornamental grass, from seed, follow these steps: Direct sow the seeds where you want the grass to grow, thinning out or replanting as needed. Alternatively, sow seeds in the autumn in seed trays to plant out the following spring. Be patient, as germination can be erratic.

Harden off seedlings and plant them out in March and April. Expect to harvest starting from late May. If you start seeds in the autumn, Briza maxima makes a fantastic filler for early summer bouquets.
