Sunnygrass

Grass type: Biennial (Grows upwards by winding itself around other objects and plants.)

This short, yellow grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The very thin stalks grow in extensive patches that are resilient and they are exceptionally hardy.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a tiny, white tail.

During the late summer, it produces a fair amount of pollen; it does not cause many allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with a handful of small grains.

Several parts of the grass have medicinal properties.
It can survive a very long time without water.
It is suitable for making baskets and the like
