Ashgrass

Grass type: Biennial (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

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

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a giant, ashy yellow spikelet.

During the early autumn, it produces an average amount of pollen; it does not cause any allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with copious amounts of small grains.

It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
