Shortflower tasslereed

Shortflower tasslereed is a perennial herb with slender stems and a fan-like arrangement of needle-shaped leaves. Its tough exterior results from an adaptation to dry, rocky habitats, allowing it to conserve water. Flower stalks emerge separate from the leaf fans, culminating in delicate, striking flower heads that are pollinated by wind and insects.
