True, False, or Not given You’ll no doubt recognise this tall grass growing along roadsides and in public areas (or the wild), as it’s an easy, cheap and fast growing grass that can quickly spruce up a vacant spot. It grows up to one metre in height, with long bushy tendrils sprouting upwards from its thick grassy base, which stays green even in summer. Plant several next to each other along an empty fence or wall to add a degree of wabi-sabi wildness to your garden. Native to Africa and the Gulf, it’s a hardy grass with a high drought tolerance and requires little watering and maintenance. Question: Tall grass grows up to three metres in height
