Why we love this plant!

A robust and versatile native grass with fine, arching green foliage and small fragrant flowers that support pollinators. Its deep root system makes it an effective plant for erosion control and improving soil structure, making it a good option for mass plantings, borders, or difficult areas in South East Queensland landscapes.

Care Considerations

Watering preferences:

Low to moderate watering; highly drought-tolerant once established.

Mulching preferences:

Applying organic mulch helps retain soil moisture and suppress weeds.

Fertilising preferences:

Generally not necessary; if needed, use a low-phosphorus native plant fertiliser.

Pruning preferences:

Remove old or damaged foliage to maintain appearance.

Good to Know:

Provides habitat for small insects, which in turn attract insectivorous birds.
