Creamgrass

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

This small, lime green grass grows up to 1 foot (30.5 cm) tall. The asymmetrical stalks grow in sparse patches that are flimsy.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a large, cream tuft.

During the late summer, it produces excessive amounts of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with a few large grains.

The stems are covered in large spikes.
It is suitable for making paper
It aggressively steals nutrients from other large plants (but not each other).
