Luzula banksiana

Luzula banksiana is a hardy perennial grass-like plant thriving in alpine and subarctic regions characterized by tufted clumps with narrow, upright green leaves. Its springtime bloom consists of small, clustered brown flowers atop delicate stalks, which contribute to its resilience in harsh, cold habitats by facilitating wind pollination. The plant's adaptability is also evident in its fibrous root system, anchoring it firmly in rocky, nutrient-poor soils.
