Silvergrass

Grass type: Annual (Stores water in its stem)

This modest-sized, silver grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The thin stalks grow in thin clumps that are sturdy and flexible.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a small, slate tail.

During the late summer, it produces an average amount of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with a modest amount of small grains.

It is possible to grow it from cuttings.
The sap is edible and overwhelmingly sour.
It is suitable for making strong rope
