Orange Spikelet 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 thin stalks grow in thin clumps that are light and frail and they are slow to spread and grow.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a giant, orange spikelet.

During the late summer, it produces an average amount of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with lots of large grains.

It is suitable for creating fine, soft textiles
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
The sap causes itchiness of the skin
It coexists peacefully with other plants.
