susuki
Susuki, also known as Japanese pampas grass, is a tall perennial grass native to East Asia. It is characterized by its feathery flower heads that bloom in late summer and autumn, creating a beautiful display of silver plumes. Susuki typically grows in clumps and can reach heights of up to 2 meters.
In Japan, susuki holds cultural significance and is often associated with the harvest moon festival, known as Tsukimi. During this festival, people admire the beauty of the grass and use it in decorations, symbolizing abundance and the changing seasons. Susuki is also valued for its ecological role, providing habitat for various wildlife.
