About
Briza media 'Limouzi' is a semi-evergreen perennial grass that forms clumps reaching up to 60 cm in height. It features blue-green leaves that create a lush backdrop. During the summer months, it produces delicate, pale yellow flowers with a hint of bronze on slender, quivering stems, though it flowers less abundantly than the typical species.
About the genus
Briza includes both annual and perennial grasses that develop dense clusters of narrow leaves. These plants produce elongated, airy panicles featuring drooping spikelets on delicate stems, making them valuable for use in dried floral arrangements.
