Retrieved 23 May 2012.</ref>

==Similar species==
''Briza maxima'' - Large Quaking-grass and ''Briza minor'' - Small Quaking-grass are the only other two Briza species likely to be encountered in most of its range. Both these species are annual whereas ''B. media'' is a perenial ''Briza maxima'' has more zxcv zxcv in each spikelet and the panicles are larger. ''B. minor'' has wider, less sturdy leaf-blades than ''B. media''. It is easily distinguished when flowering by the much shorter anthers hanging from the flowers.

==Uses==
First Hubbard ref.<ref name="Hub215">Hubbard p.215</ref>

Common Quaking-grass is widely grown as an ornamental plant, both to add interest to a border and to be used, often dried, in flower arrangements <ref>[http://www.seedaholic.com/briza-media.html "Briza media" at www.seedaholic.com]. Retrieved 23 May 2012.</ref>. There are a number of named varieties in cultivation and it can be bought as seeds or as plants.<ref>aa</ref> ''Briza maxima'' has larger, more impressive pannicles but is only an annual, making ''Briza media'' the choice of gardeners who want a more permanent display.

It does not produce enough green growth in a year to be worth growing commercially for grazing animals to eat. <ref name="Hub215" /> However, finches and other seed-eating birds like to eat the seed and it can be planted to attract wild birds to the garden<ref>[http://www.wildaboutgardens.org.uk/plants/meadow/briza-media.aspx "''Briza media''"], in [http://www.wildaboutgardens.org.uk/index.aspx Wild about Gardens (RHS & The Wildlife Trusts)].
