Mexican windmill grass
Mexican windmill grass is a resilient grass species thriving in open, often sandy habitats. Its slender, upright stems, typically less than a foot tall, support narrow leaves and spiked seed heads. The plant’s modest height and tough foliage allow it to adapt to arid conditions, conserving moisture and resisting grazing. Distinctive small, purplish spikelets bloom under the sun’s intense rays, contributing to the grassland’s ecological diversity.
