Snowgrass

==Overview==
Contrary to its name, Snowgrass is not a grass but a small, low flowering shrub. It gets its name because visually it appears similar to grass, and its flowers resemble small balls of snow.
==Appearance==
A low-growing shrub, the leaves are thin and bladelike, resembling grass. A group of stems rises from the center of the leaf-clusters, draped with white, ball-shaped flowers in early spring.
==Habitat==
Snowgrass is usually found in foothills preferring a somewhat higher altitude and cooler temperature. The plant is found in nearly every single continent except Listhrea and Siyari. The shrub also has a penchant for growing around small rocky outcrops. Because of the plant's unique root system, it does not need more than six inches of soil to thrive.
==Lore & Culture==
Because the white, ball-shaped flowers of the Snowgrass are among the first to bloom, often when there are still patches of snow upon the ground, they serve as a herald for Spring by both furr and human societies, and can feature prominently in spring-welcoming festivals as garlands and adornments.
==Uses==
The entire plant is edible, though many local herbivores will prefer either its roots, or flowers instead of the entire plant. Though mawz have been known to consume the flowers, plated deer are more fond of the leaves. Furrs will sometimes harvest the roots for stew in lean times. Both furrs and humans will use the flowers in bouquets and decorations for spring celebrations.
