Attributes

Allergen Potential [1]  Medium-Low
Edible [2]  May be edible. See the Plants For A Future link below for details.
Flower Type [2]  Hermaphrodite
Hazards [2]  Large quantities of the leaves are said to be hallucinogenic. Blanching the leaves removes this hallucinatory component; (This report does not make clear what it means by blanching, it could be excluding light from the growing shoots or immersing in boiling water;)
Lifespan [2]  Perennial
Structure [3]  Herb
Usage [2]  The tough dried foliage is plaited into cord and used for making footwear; Plants form a spreading clump and are suitable for ground cover when spaced about 45cm apart each way; The dead leaves should be left on the ground in the winter to ensure effective cover; (This report was for a plant labelled H. middendorfiana, which I have assumed is a mis-spelling of this species[K])
Height [2]  35 inches (0.9 m)
Width [2]  20 inches (0.5 m)
