Saccharum munja- Sarkanda/ kana add different dimension to a landscape


Saccharum (sacKer- Um) munja- Sarkanda/ kana

  • It is a common plant in the suburbs of Lahore since ages. We are in touch with Sarkanda/ kana in our daily life but now it may be shrinking. Has medicinal value. A perennial grass. Can grow in most types of soils. Used to firm erosion of land.

Can lift the sun? Surely used for neat ceilings for living.
Its shade is cooler than other types of ceilings. Photo by Rashad.
Watch it by the moon. Can be added to a house landscape being a grass.
