Description


A small tussock-forming grass with green leaves and slender fluffy seedheads. Prefers full sun to dappled shade but tolerates most growing conditions.

Advice


Looks best in clumps of several plants, perhaps with a single plant less than 1m away to suggest natural spreading.

Maintenance

In the past, the leaves of Wallaby Grasses were regularly eaten (pruned) by wallabies, so will benefit from being cut back to about 5cm in mid- to late Autumn. Cutting back earlier risks the sun burning the parts where the new leaves will grow from.
