Coppergrass

Grass type: Annual (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This small, copper grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The finger-like stalks grow in sparse patches that are resilient and they spread and grow quickly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a small, hazel puff.

During the early autumn, it produces an average amount of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with plenty of medium-sized grains.

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It has impressive regenerative properties.
The stems are covered in large spikes.
