Growing wild in the region's wetlands and along waterways, Cỏ bàng thrives even in saline, alum-affected soil. This resilient herbaceous plant, characterized by its lush green, soft stems and distinctive brown-tipped flowers atop its tubular structure, can reach heights of up to 1.8 meters. Its rustic beauty is matched by its practicality. Locals use sickles to cut the stalks at the base. These are then shaken clean, tied into manageable bundles, and typically moved by boat or motorbike to collection points for transport.
