Cream Puff Grass

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

This short, yellow-green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The very narrow and elongated stalks grow in thin clumps that are flexible and they overwhelm an area rapidly.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, cream puff.

During the late autumn, it produces lots of pollen, but it does not cause any allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with a modest amount of medium-sized grains.

The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.

It is almost impossible to grow from cuttings.
