Giant speargrass
Giant speargrass is a resilient perennial grass, notable for its slender, long stems that reach up to 1 meter and its distinctive fluffy, spike-like seed heads. These seeds, with their conspicuous awns that twist with humidity changes, facilitate self-burial in soil—enhancing survival in its native dry, open habitats. The plant's deep root system enables it to thrive in poor soils, making it a competitive species in its ecosystem.
