Here it is a naturalized plant. It is certainly one of the most beautiful and best known grasses and a great horticultural favorite in flower-arrangements. The plant bears large, very ornamental, graceful, nodding heads. As one of only three known species of genus Briza in Europe, it is not a common plant compared to other grasses. In Slovenia it is on the red list marked as rare. - Ref.: (1) A. Martinči et all., Mala Flora Slovenije (Flora of Slovenia - Key) (in Slovenian), Tehnična Založba Slovenije (2007), p 879. (2) T.
