Crimson Spikegrass

This modest-sized, gray-green grass grows up to 2 feet (61.0 cm) tall. The thin stalks grow in extensive patches that are prone to bending and snapping under stress.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a small, vivid red spikelet.

During the late summer, it produces lots of pollen; it can cause severe allergic reactions, and after flowering, it is left with copious amounts of medium-sized grains.
