Grasslands are regions with dry summers and cold winters characterized by grasses and herbs rather than trees. There are several types of grasslands globally containing different plants and animals. Grasslands have a dry climate with warm summers and cold winters, and a growing season where plants can grow and an inactive season when it is too cold. Three common grassland plants are the Panicled Aster, Goldenrod, and Blazing Star which can be identified by their curly leaves, hairy stems, and slender leaves respectively.
