Clinging Puffgrass

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

This short, red grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The pleated stalks grow in small clumps that are light and frail and they spread and grow quickly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a large, aquamarine puff.

During the early winter, it produces lots of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with plenty of small grains.

It absorbs an exceptionally large amount of water each day.
