Sugarcane Plant
Sugarcane is a tall, tropical, clump-forming perennial grass. The plant features thick, fibrous, jointed stalks composed of distinct segments or internodes where sucrose naturally accumulates. From its stalks, long, sword-shaped leaves sprout with sharp edges. Beyond its legendary global role as the source of most of the world's sugar, ethanol, and molasses, sugarcane is widely used in warm-climate landscaping to create striking, exotic accents or vibrant tropical garden borders
