Copper Puffgrass

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

This modest-sized, copper grass grows up to 3 feet (91.4 cm) tall. The thin stalks grow in small clumps that are delicate.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a small, brown puff.

During the early summer, it produces lots of pollen, but it does not cause any allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with copious amounts of small grains.

It can flourish even in standing water.
It is suitable for use as a construction material
It can grow in even the most barren lands.
It is said to be able to live for hundreds of years.
It is very rare outside of a particular area.
