Caramelgrass

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

This giant, caramel grass grows up to 12 feet (3.7 meters) tall. The perforated stalks grow in small clumps that are strong and tough and they overwhelm an area rapidly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, lilac flower.

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

It can survive a very long time without water.
It is suitable for making paper
The entire flower is edible and overwhelmingly bitter.
