Orange Tuftgrass

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

This short, orange grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The broad, flat stalks grow in sparse patches that are robust.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a large, white tuft.

During the mid-autumn, it produces lots of pollen,but it does not cause many allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with excessive amounts of medium-sized grains.

It is suitable for creating strong, durable textiles
Their seeds have hallucinogenic properties.
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
