Blazetail Grass

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

This short, orange grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The sickle shaped stalks grow in thin clumps that are resistant and they are slow to spread and grow.

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

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.

The sap is edible and extremely bitter.
It is suitable for making strong rope
Once on fire, it burns very quickly.
