Clingspike Grass

Grass type: Perennial (Grows upwards by clinging to almost any surface.)

This short, green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The cylindrical stalks grow in large clumps that are flimsy and they are exceptionally hardy.

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

During the early autumn, it produces lots of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with a handful of small grains.

The grains are bitter, but very healthy and can be used to make numerous baked goods.
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
