Emerald Grass

Grass type: Perennial (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small, emerald grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The circular stalks grow in extensive patches that are resilient.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, pale orange tuft.

During the early summer, it produces excessive amounts of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with lots of medium-sized grains.
