Blushreed

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

This giant, pink-red grass grows up to 32 feet (9.8 meters) tall. The slender, pointed stalks grow in large clumps that are flexible and they overwhelm an area rapidly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a medium-sized, azure spikelet.

During the late autumn, it produces very little pollen, and after flowering, it is left with a modest amount of medium-sized grains.

The sap causes itchiness of the skin
It is suitable for creating flexible, durable textiles
It spreads easily and often blanket large areas.
