Shoots growing from the underground crown make the plant frost and wildfire resistant, and allow it to survive heavy grazing pressure. The leaves can become up to 300 cm (10 ft) long and 8 mm (3 ⁄ 8 in) wide. [7] The panicles are 15–30 cm (6–12 in) long and have whorled, 25–50 mm (1–2 in) long branches. [7]
