Devil Grass

Devil Grass is a hardy, scraggly plant, that is rough to the touch. It has a sense root network that will often squeeze out the roots of other plants, killing them off. It grows relatively quickly and is often plentiful. Spread by seed, devil grass grows in patches that can reach as tall as three or four inches. The plant generally has a lifespan of about five years or so, with mature plants giving off seeds multiple times throughout the year.

The scrubby plant is so named for two reasons: because it resistant to heat and drought and because of the irritation that it causes most humans when consumed.
