Creamgrass

Grass type: Perennial (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This small, lime green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The broad, flat stalks grow in large clumps that are light and frail and they are exceptionally hardy.

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

During the late autumn, it produces a modest amount of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with a modest amount of medium-sized grains.

It is suitable for creating tough, hard-wearing textiles
The stems are covered in large spikes.
The seeds are toxic to people but not to certain animals.
