White Cotton Grass

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

This big, lime green grass grows up to 7 feet (2.1 meters) tall. The very thick stalks grow in thin clumps that are flexible.

When mature, the end of the stem eventually transforms into a giant, white tuft.

During the late summer, it produces an average amount of pollen, and after flowering, it is left with copious amounts of small grains.

It is suitable for making baskets and the like
The colour changes depends on whether the soil is acidic or alkaline.
