Cyan Puff Grass

Grass type: Perennial (Stores water in the thickened base of its stem)

This small, green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The 9 pointed stalks grow in sparse patches that are rigid and they overwhelm an area rapidly.

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

During the late autumn, it produces very little pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with lots of large grains.

It is suitable for use as a construction material
It can survive a very long time without water.
It is said to be able to live for hundreds of years.
