Briza media 'Doddering Dillies', commonly known as squill grass, is a charming ornamental grass popular for its delicate, vibrant flower spikes and airy texture. This annual to perennial ornamental grass is known for its unique, drooping spikes that sway gently in the wind, adding a playful and elegant touch to gardens and flower arrangements.
The most striking feature of Briza media 'Doddering Dillies' is its finely branched, quivering ear heads, resembling small lanterns or bells. These ear heads grow on slender, flexible stems and sway gracefully with the slightest movement of the air. They typically start out green and turn a soft gold or beige as they mature, adding a warm, natural look to both garden plantings and floral arrangements.
Briza media 'Doddering Dillies' is more compact than some other Briza varieties, making it ideal for smaller borders, pots, and mixed plantings. It typically grows between 20 and 40 cm tall, making it a perfect accent in low ornamental grass clusters or as a background in small flowerbeds.

The ornamental grass blooms several months after sowing, depending on the growing conditions. The decorative flower spikes are not only attractive in the field but also excellent for cut flower arrangements.
