Blue Puff Grass

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

This small, yellow-green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The thin stalks grow in sparse patches that are robust and they are exceptionally hardy.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, blue puff.

During the late autumn, it produces a modest amount of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with a few medium-sized grains.

It commonly grows in large patches.
It is suitable for making paper
Several parts of the caudiciform have medicinal properties.
It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
