Violetgrass

Grass type: Perennial (Stores water in its leaves)

This short, green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The fan-like stalks grow in thick clumps that are resistant.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a small, violet tuft.

During the late summer, it produces lots of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with a handful of large grains.

It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
