About

Grasses are hollow-stemmed plants that carpet open fields and meadows worldwide. They grow from the base rather than the tip, allowing them to survive constant grazing.

    sapling
    A young plant grows true leaves and a stem or trunk, putting on height each season.

    mature
    Fully grown, flowering or fruiting at adult size.
