Ambergrass

Grass type: Annual (Grows along the ground or other low surfaces.)

This small, gray-green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The slender, pointed stalks grow in large clumps that are delicate.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a small, amber spikelet.

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

It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
The trunk and branches are covered in large spikes.
It makes a distinctive sound when the wind blows through it.
