Snowgrass

Grass type: Perennial (Stores water in its stem)

This modest-sized, white and green grass grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall. The needle-like stalks grow in sparse patches that are strong and they are exceptionally hardy.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, slate spikelet.

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

It is possible to grow it from cuttings.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
The sap causes severe allergic reactions.
